j2sdk is the former name in version 1.4 and it seems that it cannot
coexist. Troy sent a message about that a couple of weeks ago. This is the
reason he built a java-1.4.2-sun-compat that uses Java 1.5. It should work
without reinstalling 1.4 (this is compatible from application point of view
and should be transparent as long as java alternaives is correctly
configured).

Yes, the problem should be caused by having 1.6.0 already installed. I
ran into a similar problem recently. This is a JAva, not a JPackage
issue. Java versions can coexist on the same machine but must be
installed in order. You can install 1.6.x on a machine running 1.5.x
but you cannot install 1.5.x on a machine with 1.6.x. The only
workaround I found is to uninstall 1.6.x and resintall both.
Dear Michel,
Thank you, that worked, but now I have a question which may be stupid
as I don't know much about Java. I had the j2sdk package installed,
but it was automatically uninstalled as part of the update and won't
reinstall. The error messages are
Missing Dependency: j2sdk = 2000:1.4.2_90-fcs is needed by package
java-1.4.2-sun-compat Missing Dependency: java-1.5.0-sun-compat is needed
by package java-1.4.2-sun-compat
What's the difference between j2sdk and jdk?
Eva.
