Append " main" to the end of the blackdown line in your sources.list. java-common is available from debian as part of Woody, but I think you mean j2se-common, and that package is the only package that is non-non-free (main). > And indeed, when I do install, not a lot happens and afterwards the > stuff you would expect to find like java, javac or javah are to be > found nowhere on the HD. You did check in /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/bin (this is where j2sdk1.3's javac is located) > Im getting the impression that the blackdown.org debs are broken.
