I can not upgrade my system because of some supposed unmet dependency of
one package:
"
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libbatik-java: Depends: j2re1.4 but it is not installable or
j2re1.3 but it is not installed or
java2-runtime
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
"
It so happens that some Java packages require a newer Java than is
available from Woody itself. So I had installed the Sun J2RE by
converting their .rpm to .deb with alien, and installing it. dpkg knows
all about it:
dpkg -p j2re
Package: j2re
Priority: extra
Section: alien
Installed-Size: 55322
Maintainer: root <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Architecture: i386
Version: 1.4.1_04-1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1), libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1, xlibs (>> 4.1.0)

Description: Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
The Java 2 Runtime Environment consists of the Java
virtual machine, the Java platform core classes,
and supporting files. It is the runtime part of
the Java 2 SDK, but without the development tools
such as compilers and debuggers.
The JRE is freely redistributable, per the terms
of the included license, when bundled with Java
applets and applications.
.
(Converted from a rpm package by alien.)
Nonetheless, apt-get does not seem to recognise that this package fulfills
the dependencies of libbatik-java.
What am I supposed to do about this?
