I'm actually surprised that the kdebase install would look for a
tarball. When I installed kdebase, I already have the Java 2 SDK
deb package (from Blackdown) installed, which provides a java
runtime environment. Didn't look for a tarball. I think you need
to install a jdk package first before you install kdebase (or
a dummy package just to satisfy dependencies, should you not have
a java compiler in hand).
the only time the package manager looked for an archive was when I
tried to install the j2sdk1_3-doc package (which only installs the
official documentation from the Java web site by unzipping the
contents of the zip file to their proper places).
