ia32-sun-java6-bin not available for i386

[asmii]

Hi All,

In the process of installing java6 on my freshly installed ubuntu 9.04 system, I was asked to install a package called ia32-sun-java6-bin, but couldn't find such a package for i386 based systems.

What I found was the same package for 64-bit machines.

Is there any alternative foe the same?

Please let me know.

The fact is that the packages sun-java6-bin_6-14-1_i386.deb and sun-java6-jre_6-14-1_all.deb are showing dependency on each other.

In addition, sun-java6-jre_6-14-1_all.deb is showing dependency on ia32-sun-java6-bin (ORed with sun-java6-bin_6-14-1_i386.deb) and that's precisely the reason why I was trying to install ia32-sun-java6-bin but sadly I found none for i386 platform.

Here is the screenshot for the same.
