Yes, I have a few unstable packages. > Yes. -base depends on a JDK. In sid this is fullfillable by > java-gcj-compat (i.e. gij-4.0) but not in sarge.

Moving aside apt preferences, commenting out the unstable archive in apt sources, doing apt-get update, and trying again... it still breaks. If I attempt to install openoffice.org with aptitude without -base: > The following packages depend on openoffice.org-base and will be broken by > its removal: > > * openoffice.org depends on openoffice.org-base But wait... choosing the modules, /without/ openoffice.org, works! It installs. But it won't work: ~$ oowriter & Wait! After about 6 minutes... watching top, seeing kaffe-bin take 76% cpu, I see an OOo logo... and this: ~$ javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! Now I have a working OOo, of course using 30.0% memory per top (of 256mb total). Thanks. I can work with this. :) Any ideas on how to eliminate the wait time that OOo takes looking for the non-existing JRE? Ralph P.S.
