Somethings Serious Amiss with JDK?

1997-01-07 Thread ugs
1) From my tribulations with JDK, I do believe jdk-common and jdk-static depend on each other. Thus, neither can be installed. 2) When I forced the issue, I got an error similar to the one Joey Hess reported earlier with 1.0.2.2: Whenever I try to run any of the java stuff, like appletviewer

I've looked through the dependencies and I think xlib6 should be installed first. Turns out there is something called "xlib" that is blocking an easy upgrade. I get the following few errors: dpkg: considering removing

I'm fairly new to debian. I see on the debian-changes mailing list where some security upgrades have been released. I've check the debian ftp server for about a week now and the upgrades don't appear there. Am I checking in the right place? If so, about how long is it between the time an upgrad
