I found this on the list archive through a google search, but this trick does not work for me. Perhaps something has changed in the last 6 months....
Here's what I get when I try Lee's advice: $ apt-get install j2sdk1.3 j2sdk1.3-doc-installer Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Couldn't find package j2sdk1.3-doc-installer So I tried it without that line: $ apt-get install j2sdk1.3 [...] Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: j2sdk1.3: Depends: j2re1.3 (= 1.3.1.02b-2) but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages So, I tried adding j2re1.3 to the list, and then I got: j2re1.3: Depends: j2se-common (> 1) but it is not installable and that's where I stop, since j2se-common isn't available.
