Cannot install openjdk-6-jre

[mn_voyageur]

In my attempt to install openjdk-6-jre, I get the following.

Any help would be appreciated.

openjdk-6-jre:
Depends: openjdk-6-jre-headless but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libaccess-bridge-java-jni but it is not going to be installed

CLI returns:

Bump.

I just discovered this problem as well. Are you still at maverick?

I believe it might have been something that removed the update repos.

Synaptic -> Settings -> Repos -> Updates

or for cli guys


deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security universe main multiverse restricted
deb http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu/ maverick-updates universe main multiverse restricted
deb http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu/ maverick-backports universe main multiverse restricted

should fix your problem.

Hi you can try these commands one at a time and then try to install that package again. Aslo make sure that your repositories have the main,universe,restricted and multiverse enabled in synaptic package manager.

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*

sudo apt-get update

[mn_voyageur]

I have been unsuccessful.

Repos look good.

CLI
sudo apt-get update did not help.

Any other suggestions?

Hi, let make sure the partial download is completely gone. Type

sudo apt-get --purge remove --force sun-java6-jre
Then
sudo apt-get autoclean
Then
sudo apt-get autoremove
Then try to install the package again.:)

Did anybody solve this?

I get: openjdk-6-jre:
Depends: openjdk-6-jre-headless but it is not going to be installed

in synaptics. headless will respond: openjdk-6-jre-headless:
Depends: openjdk-6-jre-lib but it is not going to be installed
Depends: tzdata-java but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: icedtea-6-jre-cacao but it is not going to be installed

Then backwards to tzdata-java...tzdata-java:
Depends: tzdata (=2010l-1) but 2011d-0ubuntu0.10.10 is to be installed

which it is. I have apt-get updates and fixed. im at a loss at this point, been on ubuntu several months. Im trying to run android from ubuntu. :confused:

[munky99999]

Amp1776 have you tried my fix? It worked for me.

[Amp1776]

thanks dude! been on that for hours, somehow missed yours! :guitar:

[itsmekrazzy4]

I have been tryin to install scilab...even my problem boils down to
tzdata-java:
Depends: tzdata (=2011g-0ubuntu0.10.10) but 2011g-0ubuntu0.11.04 is to be installed

I tried the repositories suggested by munky but it still doesn't work!!

thank you so much! i am on natty, so i changed the 'maverick' to 'natty'.
many other applications which were dependent on java had stopped working for me and i could not work at all. this helped. i can finally install java now! :P:KS
