I think that you mix two things : 1) sun-java6-jre has been removed from Debian unstable [1] and will be removed from Ubuntu soon, AFAIK [2]. 2) java6-runtime is a virtual package provided by some JRE : aptitude search "?provides(java6-runtime)" -F %p default-jre default-jre-headless openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jre-headless So, if you build with source/target 1.6, I would recommend something like : Depends: default-jre-headless (>= 1:1.6) | java6-runtime (As a side note, openjdk-7-jre provide java6-runtime like openjdk-7-jre) [1] http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2011/15/#javarm [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes/Java6Transition -- Damien - Debian Developper http://wiki.debian.org/DamienRaudeMorvan
