Prior to installing gcj-* stuff, it was like this: $ COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l '*java*' | grep ii | cut -c-75 ii java-common 0.23 ii java-package 0.27 ii libgnujaxp-java 1.3-4 ii libhsqldb-java 1.8.0.2-2 ii libjaxp1.2-java 1.2.01-1 ii libjline-java 0.9.1-2 ii libpg-java 8.1-404-1 ii libpgjava 8.1-404-1 ii libsablevm-classlib1-java 1.11.3-2 ii libservlet2.3-java 4.0-8 ii libxalan2-java 2.6.0-6 ii libxerces2-java 2.6.2-3 ii libxt-java 0.20050823-1 ii openoffice.org-java-common 2.0.0-5 $ COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l '*j2*' | grep ii | cut -c-75 ii sun-j2re1.5 1.5.0+update06 $ COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l '*kaffe*' | grep ii | cut -c-75 ii kaffe 1.1.6-3 ii kaffe-common 1.1.6-3 ii kaffe-doc 1.1.6-3 ii kaffe-pthreads 1.1.6-3 Once I had installed the gcj-* stuff it seems to work (almost) fine - unrelated bug report on its way....
