I have looked around and this doesn't seem to be a known issue, but I can't seem to install sun-java6-

$ apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin

The following packages have unmet dependencies.

* sun-java6-bin: Depends: sun-java6-jre (= 6-04-2) but 6-05-1 is to be installed

************************* ia32-sun-java6-bin (= 6-05-1) but it is not installable


Any thoughts?

Did you run apt-get update before that ? As far as I can see, this
problems does not exist anymore.

Cheers,

OK, I've checked a bit better. The problem still exists for the i386
arch. Please wait for a few days, and if it persists, please file a bug
report against sun-java6-bin (this is the faulty one apparently).

Hm, those packages are derived from the DLJ bundles and I just,
yesterday, published the 6u5 bundles. doko is probably in process of
updating the packages for the 6u5 bundles?

I'm not sure what's going on here but there are already several bug reports on
this, the latest I think is bug #464721 (which dates back to Feb 8th).

The sun-java6-* packages have been uninstallable for over a month now. This
breaks the repository badly. It means that apt-get dist-upgrade tries to
*remove* any package which depends on java such as staroffice. It also means
that if you uninstall java you cannot re-install it from the repository.

It seems there have been a couple of new version uploads attempted since the
breakage started and they haven't fixed the problem. It would probably be
better to re-upload the last consistent set of packages to fix the repository,
then try to fix the new packages and not upload them until you have a
consistent set of new ones to replace the old ones.

You should have a testing entry in your /etc/apt/sources.list even
if you only use unstable. It really should install fine from testing
(all packages at 6-00-2 on amd64 and ia386 according to rmadison).

Vincent

The java6 packages don't appear to be buggy as such, the problem is that the
i386 packages haven't been built. That sort of temporary version skew is
normal for sid, (and for packages in main would normally be fixed by the
i386 buildd).

Matthias uploaded source, all and amd64 packages for version 6-05-1, and
no-one has uploaded i386 or ia64 binaries yet. For version 6-04-2 he
uploaded source, i386 and all packages. For 6-03-1 he uploaded ia64,
source, all, amd64, and i386 packages. (Afaict the sun-java packages
aren't being auto-built.)

Cheers
Andrew V.

This depends what you mean by temporary. This has been broken for weeks
now (26 march) and prevent to install openoffice for example... If many
people where not running sid, many more bugs would be found much later...

Hmm, how can a problem with a package in non-free (Sun's java) can
affect the installation of a package in main (openoffice.org) ? (by
definition of main, a package in main cannot depend on anything not in
main). You must have a broken setup here, or refuse to install free
JVMs, with which OpenOffice.org runs fine.

Cheers,

Vincent
