Hi

Installation of openjdk-6-jdk in wheezy i386 would lead to deletion of
much gnome, including openoffice, with reinstallation of gnome and

Otherwise, java is often useful.

Any suggestion about?

thanks

I have long ago switched fron Sun java to OpenJdk, and had no such trouble. I do recall some dependency hell issues with some other packages, but turning off "Consider recommended packages as dependencies" in Synaptic fixed most of those.

I reckon the problem could be OpenOffice anyway; some dependency of some bit of it may require both java and a particular version of GNOME.

Some Gnome packages are not strictly necessary, as they are meta packages. Removing some of those will not grossly affect Gnome.
