java installation problems

[Tom Allison <tallison@tacocat.net>]

These messages pertain to the packages found in:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian/pool/non-free/j/j2re1.4-i386/

There is no 'mozilla-cvs' directory on my installation.
(it appears that j2re1.3 does not have this problem, but I haven't 
been able to verify it yet.)
