I'm not sure what's going on here but there are already several bug reports on this, the latest I think is bug #464721 (which dates back to Feb 8th). The sun-java6-* packages have been uninstallable for over a month now. This breaks the repository badly. It means that apt-get dist-upgrade tries to *remove* any package which depends on java such as staroffice. It also means that if you uninstall java you cannot re-install it from the repository. It seems there have been a couple of new version uploads attempted since the breakage started and they haven't fixed the problem. It would probably be better to re-upload the last consistent set of packages to fix the repository, then try to fix the new packages and not upload them until you have a consistent set of new ones to replace the old ones. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Get trained by Bruce Momjian - ask me about EnterpriseDB's PostgreSQL training! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
