OpenJDK is simply not installable, without doing one of these workaround solutions. -- openjdk-6-jre is uninstalable as of Thu Aug 7 14:16:14 UTC 2008 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255738 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
