Dear Sam:
Thank you for your advice. Basically, I am spelunking my way around
debian
and trying out sid seemed interesting for a while on one of my spare
computers. I can always just start over, thats not a problem, but this is an
interesting puzzle.
Here is my new sources.list which contains four lines at this time.
deb file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main
deb ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/java-linux/debian unstable non-free
When I then do an 'apt-get install java-common', I get back to the same
installer message demanding the ibm-jdk-l118-linux-x86.tgz file.
I wonder if this could be a sid issue and I wonder if you or someone else
could comment further?
Charles
