The current jdk deb is 1.1.5v5-1. As another poster said, it sounds like you are running the libc5 Debian distribution. You'll have lotsa problems trying to get current software to run with it. The current distribution is libc6 (hamm) and can be found at ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/frozen. If you move to hamm, you'll find that most of your questions answer themselves.
