have the package
'java-virtual-machine'.[/b:6073293ca2][/i:6073293ca2]
david@xdavid:~$ apt-cache search java-virtual-machine
gij-3.3 - The GNU Java bytecode interpreter
java-virtual-machine-dummy - Dummy Java virtual machine
sablevm - Free implementation of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) second
edition

either.[/b:6073293ca2][/i:6073293ca2]
david:/home/david# apt-get install java-virtual-machine
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package java-virtual-machine is a virtual package provided by:
sablevm 1.1.0-5
java-virtual-machine-dummy 0.3
gij-3.3 1:3.3.3-6
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package java-virtual-machine has no installation candidate
[i:6073293ca2][b:6073293ca2]Comments: Anyway, I tried installing the
java-virtual-machine package. Read from another thread that any one
of the three packages (sablevm, java-virtual-dummy, gij) should
install java-virtual-machine. So I installed
sablevm.[/b:6073293ca2][/i:6073293ca2]

[i:6073293ca2][b:6073293ca2]Comments: After installing sablevm,
Java-common package is shown as installed above. However,
java-virtual-machine is still shown as not installed. Do I need to
install all three packages? Web pages that require
java-virtual-machine still prompt me to install
it.[/b:6073293ca2][/i:6073293ca2]
What is the correct method to install java-virtual-machine with
apt-get?
Thanks !
