If the dependencies aren't satisfiable, a rebuild is probably the most supported option. I run a mixed stable/backports/testing/etc. system, and it works for me; it would be fast, but it's not something that's supported. > Java 6 should be backward-compatible with its predecessor. Have you > tried to compile Android with it? The android build system has a number of checks which automatically bail if something other than sun-java5-jdk is used -- Sun's Java 6 included. While I was previously able to bypass these checks by editing some of the build system, ISTR that Sun's Java 6 would not compile the unmodified Android code from Repo/Git. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
