Package: sun-java5-bin Version: 1.5.0-10-3 Severity: serious This "bug" may be covering a bunch of packages, I suspect, actually. Either way, what I'm seeing is totally unacceptable for a "stable" release.
After noticing that azureus doesn't work anymore (it used to), i.e., crashes, popup windows not closing, top showing java use 101 (yes, 101) %CPU, etc., etc., started looking for java. Found realpath /usr/bin/java to be /usr/bin/gij-4.1. Decided to get Sun's (actually I think I always had it and don't remember switching). OK, apt-get install sun-java5-jdk, but xterm running this crashes, can't even notice what the problem is. Next I'm told to do dpkg --configure -a, repeating install after that crashes xterm again (while setting up sun-java5-bin). After a few tries, decided to remove the misbehaving sun-java5 packages, this finally allows a glimpse as to what might be wrong: kaste(3): sudo apt-get remove --purge sun-java5-bin Reading package lists...

Errors were encountered while processing: sun-java5-bin sun-java5-jre E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Well, at least xterm doesn't crash this time. Before this, my system was perfectly "up-to-date", BTW, so this is quite a shock. To summarize, the way I see it: 1) sun-java5-* really broken. 2) dpkg crashing due to sun-java5-* brokenness. 3) dpkg crashing and taking xterm with it. 4) azureus completely unusable with gij-4.1. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20 Locale: LANG=lv_LV.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=lv_LV.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- debconf information: shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1: false shared/error-sun-dlj-v1-1: shared/present-sun-dlj-v1-1: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
