Bug#544134: Subject: sun-java6-jre: Broken packages. Needs uploading?
Package: sun-java6-jre
Version: 6-16-1
Severity: normal
Broken packages.
Similar to bug reported in January. Maybe this version needs uploading?
Going forward it would be nice to have a better error message instead of "broken packages" followed by a nondescript circular reference.
Something like this: Package 'x' could not be installed because it was not found on the server. This is common with the unstable or experimental repositories. If not resolved within 24hrs please file a bug report.
Or even better, simply build in a safeguard to prevent this error.
Thoughts?
