Thank you. Though I'm not the original poster, this solved the problem
with the 'holding back' of j2re1.3 after my weekly apt-get update.
However, now what used to be in /usr/lib/j2re1.3 seems to have moved
to /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/ and some links in /etc/alternatives/ are
broken. Mozilla, quite naturally, no longer has a java plugin, and I
get
$ java
bash: java: command not found
$
I can (and will) do the update-alternatives thing. But I was curious
if the blackdown debs should have warned me of this, or I missed doing
something that I should have.
Any clues for me? I'm not sure how /etc/alternatives/javaplugin.so
could or should have been updated during the upgrade, and I'm curious
if there is a better way. Is this a bug in the blackdown .deb package?
Cheers!
Shyamal
