Pardon my igornance if this is a dumb question, the java policy and packaging in Debian seems to be an overcomplicated beast, and I'm not sure why certian things are done as they are....
I have java-virtual-machine-dummy and java-compiler-dummy installed. And I have Sun's JDK living out in /usr/local. This *should* be everything I need, I should be able to get rid of kaffe. But.... racerx:~# dpkg --purge kaffe dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of kaffe: jython depends on kaffe | java-runtime | java1-runtime | java2-runtime; Is this a problem with the way jython is packaged? Or should java-virtual-machine-dummy also provide java-runtime? Or, should there also be a seperate java-runtime-dummy package? Or, am I getting it all wrong? Thanks, jrw
