Java Problems

[Lee2010]

I recently tried to follow this tutorial

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html

on how to update my java but when I got to the "Sun Operating System Distributor License for Java" it wouldn't let me press ok so I exited the terminal. Now I can't get into synaptic because it says another package manager is running. I tried rebooting and it still happens what should I do?

First close all package managers on your system.
terminal:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get install -f

Stuck in license signing as in skype, sun java, etc.
sometimes needs this way:

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq <exact-name-package>

try this way of installing sun java
: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java
it puts java in your /opt folder.

and signing the license goes via -tab/space and "-arrow" key's

Have you tried to hit SPACE when the licence comes up?
