I tried the last recently published update of the sun jre1.5 : update 06. BTW Previously I had a lot of problem with the alternative stuff when adding new packages version. This time, I saw someone changed the postinst script. Unfortunately it broke on my machine. I have no more the message failure. It was complaining to try to copy something from different devices. I just ran the /var/lib/dpkg/info/sun-jrexxx-postinst script by hand and found the wrong line. Then looking at the update-alternatives man page, I do not understand the way the argument were given. I changed them and the script worked. I then called apt-get -f install to finish install. -- __ / ` Eric Valette /-- __ o _. 6 rue Paul Le Flem (___, / (_(_(__ 35740 Pace Tel: +33 (0)2 99 85 26 76 Fax: +33 (0)2 99 85 26 76 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ pkg-java-maintainers mailing list pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers
