Please do Cc me if you want me to recieve updates, I'm not the maintainer of this package, and didn't read this followup until Steve Langasek pointed it out to me. > This is not actually a bug, since javac does not use sun-java5, but > blackdown's distribution.

And the current dependencies don't make it co-installable with sun-java5 either, only with blackdown (and java-package generated Sun Java). Neither of those are a legal problem for personal use. Downgrading this bug, but leaving resolution to the maintainer. This question needs to be revisited when the package is updated. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
