Need help: Automatically accept EULA with apt-get

[dcstar]

.........
I so much hate dpkg for botching up this license stuff and taking 40 minutes of my life now...

Yes, it must be the fault of dpkg that something that the application provider insists be acknowledged manually is a pain to be acknowledged in another way completely bypassing the wishes of the commercial provider generously allowing you the free use of their software.

Those dpkg package developers are so deserving of "hate" for making something that actually works as it is supposed to...... not.

This is another solution:

echo sun-java6-jre shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 select true | /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections
apt-get install --yes sun-java6-jre

Works for me...

thats strange.
when i run this script below there is an message in the terminal that the license is alreay agreed upon and i never have to do anymore than just run the script and wait for it to finish. i do not know why so i ponder about this a bit.
