OK, I see what you're getting at. One immediate problem is that I don't
think the closed source Java is available in 64 bit anyway, only the
open source version(s),
AFAIK, the way the package managers work is that they detect what
environment you are running in and download the appropriate 32 or 64 bit
package for that. There are some exceptions where certain packages are
specified only for 32 or 64 bit, like w32codecs and w64codecs from
Medibuntu, or gdb64.
Perhaps you are looking for the ability to specify in Synaptic/apt-
get/etc which version you want to install?
I will re-open this bug until we can figure out for sure what we really
want, and will seek some other opinions. Thank you for your continued
input.
