Thanks for your bugreport. is this still a problem for you? I just tested it and I was able to install all java packages with the exception of the browser plugin on amd64 (inclusing "Sun Java 6 Web Start (32bit)").
If you still have the problem, please include the output of: $ sudo apt-get install -s ia32-sun-java6-bin Thanks, Michael ** Changed in: gnome-app-install (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- Java can't install in Feisty Herd2 i386 https://launchpad.net/bugs/81371 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
