	no javac?

dpkg --purge jdk-common jdk-static
and 'dpkg -i' them again.

If it does not fix your problem,
have a look into /etc/alternative:
you should have a link from /etc/alternative/java to /usr/bin/java-jdk.
If not, create it.
Also /usr/lib/jdk/i586/bin/ should be a symbolic link to /usr/bin/.
I can't access my development machine right now, but I think this is a bug.
Will have a look at this tomorrow, and upload a corrected version.

	

NB: Has anyone tried toba or j2c? Both are ".class compilers", that is 
they create an ELF executable from java bytecode (That is you loose 
portability, but improve execution speed by a factor of 5). Anyone 
interested to get this as a package?

	& Happy New Year BTW. _(;
