Code:

sorry last post was before i say your bit about java anyway new problem

Code:

Package sun-java5-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package sun-java5-jre has no installation candidate

repo · 04-08-2009, 04:52 AM

add this to your sourcelist

Code:

##### sunjava
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

Code:

apt-get update

rich13348 · 04-08-2009, 05:05 AM

search for java

rich13348 · 04-08-2009, 06:03 AM

ok installed java through synaptic but still running into the same problem as before regarding installing flashplugin-nonfree

ok i seem to have found the issue or part of it regarding not being able to install the plugins long and short of it is that i need libasound2 1.0.13-2 but i have libasound2 1.0.19-1 and that seems to be where the problem is stemming from.

repo · 04-08-2009, 06:31 AM

try

Code:

apt-get -f remove
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get remove -f nspluginwrapper
apt-get install nspluginwrapper
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

rich13348 · 04-08-2009, 07:11 AM

yay that worked.....in the end but i had to remove libasound2 and reinstall it with an older version to get lib32asound2 to work to get nspluginwrapper to work and then i installed flashplugin-nonfree so it works now thankyou for you help
