I finally solved my java plugin problems (as well as, it seems, several instability problems I was having with iceweasel) by:
1. apt-get removing and dpkg --purging any java-related packages found by dpkg -l|grep -i java. 2. apt-get installing azureus (which pulls in openjdk-6*) and icedtea-gcjwebplugin. Got the hint from this message on the debian-amd64 list (found by searching; don't have an amd64 myself): http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2008/11/msg00032.html Maybe Debian is getting more sun-unfriendly. Anyway, it works now. Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
