Hi.

Im trying to reinstall a pkg that was previously installed manualy using dpkg -i <package>

But the directory file was remove by hand, and now when I try to run the install of this package again it complains on package problems and dont let me reinstall...
I have tried
apt-get -f install <package>
dpkg --force-remove-reinstres -P <package>
dpkg --force-remove-reinstres -i <package>

just for the records that package is a J2re version that is needed to run some webapplications... and must be the exactly file I have, cant use the apt-get repository options.

j2re is installed in Debian based distributions, using a binary installer file from SUN... have you tried downloading that file directly from SUN and installing it manually ?

If your issue is with a Specific package it would help for you to list the package name...
