java2-compiler would be a wrong dependency as this only a compiler, without class library or runtime. Its only provided by sun-java5-jdk and sun-java6-jdk. We should really remove this virtual package from our policy. The main problem is that we cannot differentiate between JRE and JDK. This needs to be solved first. We really need to update and then implement the new Java Policy. Cheers, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
