Yeah, I know this, the real package is default-jre, default-jre-headless or gcj-compat-dev depending on a few things (those have teh above alternates) or you can specifically depend on openjdk or a sun VM in which case you don't get the alternates. Library packages don't keep depends on runtimes (as per policy), only application packages do. This is to avoid unnecessary deps Matt -- Matthew Johnson
