Java installing issue using apt

Hello there.
I'm using Ubuntu dapper. Recently I tried to install Java using the apt programm. But it gives me these lines which i dont know what to do on:

Code:

fault@fault:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree... Done

You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.

  sun-java5-demo: Depends: sun-java5-jre (= 1.5.0-06-1) but it is not going to be installed

  sun-java5-jdk: Depends: sun-java5-jre (= 1.5.0-06-1) but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).

Ok, then I do:

Code:

fault@fault:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree... Done

Correcting dependencies...Done

The following extra packages will be installed:

  sun-java5-bin sun-java5-jdk sun-java5-jre

Suggested packages:

  sun-java5-doc sun-java5-source sun-java5-plugin ia32-sun-java5-plugin sun-java5-fonts

The following NEW packages will be installed

  sun-java5-bin sun-java5-jdk sun-java5-jre

What does it say? What do I have to do?
Thanks in advance. -fault

I have had nothing but trouble trying to install java from the Debian repos. I've gone back to the old fashioned way. It works better. It looks complicated, but it's not.

this brings same errors... :(
somehow every package i try to install using apt seems to depend on these java packages, even when i try to remove anything allready installed. What is this? Is apt somehow messed up?

Tips....

Not use apt it doesn't work and probably will never work.

So go to the Sun Java website and download the jre-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin file.

https://sdlc1b.sun.com/ECom/EComActi...DFBD8917FC8A6D

Save this in the root folder and login as root run then do this;

chmod a+x jre-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin
./jre-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jre1.5.0_07/bin/java 1507
java -version

And Java is installed.... (the location for your Mozilla plugin fodler can be different)

Are you talking about apt in general or apt for this package? And then can you explain a bit further? Thanks

To the OP:
You are doing the correct method (rickh's one also work but there is an easier one now).
What release of debian you use? Put it in your profile, please, you will get proper support.

If its what I think, its trivial to fix. But I need to know which release you use.

thx dummy-in-linux, but it still doesnt work interly:

Code:

root@fault:/usr/lib/mozilla# /usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jre1.5.0_07/bin/java 1507

bash: /usr/sbin/alternatives: No such file or directory

java -version gives me:

Code:

root@fault:/usr/lib/mozilla# java -version

java version "1.4.2"

gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.0 (Ubuntu 4.1.0-1ubuntu8)

I'm using Ubuntu Dapper:

Code:

root@fault:/usr/lib/mozilla# cat /proc/version

Linux version 2.6.15-25-386 (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 PREEMPT Wed Jun 14 11:25:49 UTC 2006

from root:

Code:

xauth -merge ~fault/.Xauthority

and then redo apt-get

I suggest you do this, otherwise you will have the problem again

Code:

dpkg-reconfigure debconf

choose dialog

This is fixed in Debian sid, I don't know for Ubuntu

But you already installed the .bin so I don't know what will happen..

sun-dlj-v1-1 license could not be presented was the error

/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jre1.5.0_07/bin/java 1507

I tried to install java using synaptics. It displayed the licence and I was able to accept it. Installing through synaptics worked fine. I'm happy now, since everyhting is working fine. Thanks for support.

Still you should do this:

Because there are a few packages that will call debconf

On my release, it is corrected:
in case root is not allowed to open a window, it falls back to text mode.
