Public bug reported: The description of the sun-java6-plugin package says that it is included in the JRE. This was not true for sun-java6-jre. It took me a while to decide to install the plugin despite the description. Works great. But, description needs corrected, at least for the sun-java6-plugin variant.
1) Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron - released in April 2008. 2) 0.61ubuntu9 3) I expected to have the plugin included in the JRE package 4) The plugin was not included I realize this is not a synaptic bug. However, the Help/Report a Problem made it easy to submit.
