I got bit by this as well. I worked round it by with
# update-alternatives --remove-all java # dpkg --configure -a I also had some other JDK-related packages give a similar error, complaining about something being a slave of javac. Doing a remove-all on javac and configure fixed it. -- Jim Hague - jim.ha...@acm.org Never trust a computer you can't lift. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-gcc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
