Dear linuxers, According to this blog ( http://sylvestre.ledru.info/blog/sylvestre/2011/08/26/sun_java6_packages_removed_from_debian_u ) from Sylvestre, responsible for maintaining sun-java*, Java did not renew it's license, and so, sun-java6-jre and sun-java-plugin will not be available on Wheezy.
The author suggests: apt-get --purge remove sun-java6-jre && apt-get install openjdk-7-jre in another (more recent) post. Unfortunately, my internet baking does not recognize openjdk. Only sun-java seems to work. When calling technical support, the attendant insist I should upgrade to the last sun-java plugin. There is simply no alternatives for me. I managed to install sun-java after adding the old "squeeze" repository temporarily to my sources.list. It is working now without any problems. I would like to call the attention to this problem. Please: 1) If possible, something like the flash plugin should be done. It simply download the last sun-java from the original website and installs it. (We don't need sun-java to be at the repository) 2) If using squeeze repository is the only way we can still have sun-java6 working, don't break this possibility on the release version of Wheezy. 3) If there is an easy way of creating a ".deb" package from the .tgz on the original site, that would also be nice. Something like the google-earth package, I believe. There are many solutions, so please, just take a kind look into this!
