Package: apt Version: 0.6.44.1 Severity: normal apt-get gives a confusing message:

Done Package sun-java5-bin is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: sun-java5-jre E: Package sun-java5-bin has no installation candidate It shouldn't say that sun-java5-jre replaces sun-java5-bin because the user needs sun-java5-bin anyway (indeed sun-java5-jre depends on sun-java5-bin). -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "powerpc"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::sourceparts "sources.list.d"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "if dpkg -s apt-listbugs | grep -q '^Status: .* ok installed'; then /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || ( test $? -ne 10 || exit 10; echo 'Warning: apt-listbugs exited abnormally, hit enter key to continue.' 1>&2 ; read a < /dev/tty ); fi"; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $? -ne 10"; DPkg::Tools ""; DPkg::Tools::Options ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges::Version "2"; DPkg::Post-Invoke ""; DPkg::Post-Invoke:: "if [ -x /usr/bin/debsums ]; then /usr/bin/debsums --generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives; fi"; -- /etc/apt/preferences -- Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 200 -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- # /etc/apt/sources.list deb file:///usr/local/deb/ ./ deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb http://de.powerpc.mirror.debian.net/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb-src http://de.powerpc.mirror.debian.net/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb http://de.powerpc.mirror.debian.net/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb-src http://de.powerpc.mirror.debian.net/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org etch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org etch/updates main contrib non-free # See http://debian.video.free.fr/ #deb http://honk.sigxcpu.org/linux-ppc/debian/ mplayer/ # $Id: sources.list 10078 2005-12-01 15:31:02Z lefevre $ -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (200, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-20050829 Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.0-4 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.1.0-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages apt recommends: pn debian-archive-keyring <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
