java 1.4 issue

[Stephen <marathon@linux.ca>]

I'm having a wierd dependency issue. I've installed 'j2re1.4', when
compiling I'm given this error:

dpkg: error processing j2sdk1.4-doc (--configure): subprocess
post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency
problems prevent configuration of j2sdk1.4-src: j2sdk1.4-src depends on
j2sdk1.4 (= 1.4.0.99beta-1); however: Package j2sdk1.4 is not configured
yet.  dpkg: error processing j2sdk1.4-src (--configure): dependency
problems - leaving unconfigured Setting up j2sdk1.3-doc (1.3.1.02b-2)
...  This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain
the J2SDK documentation.  You will need to go download one of the
archives:

		          j2sdk-1_4_1-doc.zip j2sdk-1_4_0-doc-ja.zip

			  (choose the non-update version if this is the
			  first installation).  Please visit

			      http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html

			      now and download.  The file should be
			      owned by root.root and be copied to /tmp.
			      

Ok, so I dutifully went and downloaded 'j2sdk-1_4_1-doc.zip', put it in
the /tmp directory, chowned root -- but it still throws up the same
error.

Any suggestions - I'm attempting to get Jakarta Tomcat going. Is Mozilla
required? I hope not, I want to stay away from an XFree environment.
