Oh, if you're running slink then that's the problem. Unfortunately the package doesn't exist in slink, probably because it wasn't packaged until potato was underway. The jdk package available in slink is called jdk1.1 so 'apt-get install jdk1.1' should work fine.
BTW, http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages is very helpful for looking up packages. Also, I've been running potato for a while and it's pretty stable except that every once in a while a package is submitted which won't install properly. I deal with this by simply resisting the temptation to daily 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade' which it seems so many people do and then moan and groan about how this or that package doesn't work. If you're willing to put up with this occasional convenience it's worth going to potato for all those packages you'd really like to run. Gregory Guthrie wrote: > At 03:32 PM 06/27/2000 -0500, Jens B.
