Downloading as I write. We'll see what that does.

Prior to installing gcj-* stuff, it was like this:
$ COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l '*java*' | grep ii | cut -c-75
ii java-common 0.23
ii java-package 0.27
ii libgnujaxp-java 1.3-4
ii libhsqldb-java 1.8.0.2-2
ii libjaxp1.2-java 1.2.01-1
ii libjline-java 0.9.1-2
ii libpg-java 8.1-404-1
ii libpgjava 8.1-404-1
ii libsablevm-classlib1-java 1.11.3-2
ii libservlet2.3-java 4.0-8
ii libxalan2-java 2.6.0-6
ii libxerces2-java 2.6.2-3
ii libxt-java 0.20050823-1
ii openoffice.org-java-common 2.0.0-5
$ COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l '*j2*' | grep ii | cut -c-75
ii sun-j2re1.5 1.5.0+update06
$ COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l '*kaffe*' | grep ii | cut -c-75
ii kaffe 1.1.6-3
ii kaffe-common 1.1.6-3
ii kaffe-doc 1.1.6-3
ii kaffe-pthreads 1.1.6-3
Once I had installed the gcj-* stuff it seems to work (almost) fine -
unrelated bug report on its way.... So feel free to close this bug
report!
Thanks for the speedy response!
