Hello Michael, Really, thank you for the info, I forgot about 'recommends' because I used `dpkg -i` to install this package but usually I use aptitude which handles 'recommends' section automatically.
Recommends section looks good: Recommends: netbase, libx11-6 | xlibs, libasound2, libgtk1.2 But make-jpkg gives me also this warning message: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: could not find any packages for libstdc++.so.5 dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared library libstdc++ (soname 5, path libstdc++.so.5, dependency field Depends) So libstdc++5 is not included in dependencies but should be (without this library java don't start).
