This is the exact issue that is affecting me as well. Additionally it will not deinstall until the install script runs properly.
Here is my analysis of what is happening: 1, The installs script looks for the java documentation package from the Sun Website in the temporary directory. 2. It does not find it. 3. The user decides not to install and types "no" on the retry, rather than going to the website and fetching the documentation. They presume this will cause the package to cancel installation, as it should. 4. Instead the package, for an unknown reason (bug?) reports itself as half-installed. 5. Additionally for unknown reasons (bug?) The package also refuses to uninstall from this half-installed state. The easiest solution would be to replace the whole package with an auto- downloader similar to that used for the other Java Packages, which requires you to agree to the license agreement in a box or a text mode "yes/no" depending on your DebConf mode. If this can't be worked out with Sun, fixing the bugs in 4 and 5 should be suitable enough. -- can't install java doc jdk-6u10-doc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387825 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
