Problem with Sun's Java Debian Packages from Non-Free...



Java Guys,

I'm having some trouble getting the Debs for Sun's Java in the
Non-Free section installed. I wanted to check with you guys for a
solution, and if I'm not messing something up then I will file a bug
report.

I think there may be a circular dependency with the sun-java5-bin
Debian package and the sun-java5-jre Debian Package.

Here is the message I get from dpkg when I try to install the
sun-java5-bin package. (It does prompt me to accept the license, but
I'm not sure if it completes the installation.)

Error Message

darthvadersbox:/home/darthvader/debs# dpkg -i sun-java5-bin_1.5.0-07-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package sun-java5-bin.

    Package sun-java5-jre is not installed.
dpkg: error processing sun-java5-bin (--install):

Here is the message I get when I try to install the sun-java5-jre package.

Error Message

Can I fix this by overriding the dependecy checks and forcing the
install? Should I file a bug report about this?

Thanks for the help.
