I have been buying music from a website called HDtracks.com recently using my Debian Sid desktop. They're wensite requires your run a download manager that is a Java application for all music downloads. I have downloaded 2 albums this past October without incident but ran into problems trying to buy music yesterday.
In trying to track down what was going on, I realized I had the Sun Java jre installed from the non-free repository and openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless. I tried using update-aletrnatives --config java to pick between the two to no avail. I removed the openjdk packages and currently only have Sun's Java installed. phobos:/home/nick# dpkg -l | grep java rc ca-certificates-java 20100412 Common CA certificates (JKS keystore) pi java-common 0.40 Base of all Java packages ii javascript-common 8 Base support for JavaScript library packages rc libaccess-bridge-java-jni 1.26.2-5 Java Access Bridge for GNOME (jni bindings) ii plasma-scriptengine-javascript 4:4.4.5-1 the JavaScript script engine for Plasma ii sun-java6-bin 6.22-1 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (architecture dependent files) ii sun-java6-fonts 6.22-1 Lucida TrueType fonts (from the Sun JRE) ii sun-java6-jre 6.22-1 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (architecture independent files) ii sun-java6-plugin As a simple test, when I try to visit this site, http://www.time.gov/, which uses Java to show real time, the browser freezes for about 15 seconds, the page loads but no Java clock is shown. So I tried installing Java on my Debian Sid laptop via apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin and all works well. The Java clock works and I was able to download my music from HDtracks.
