You can try forcing your selections with the X key, but I find this often doesn't work. dselect is an annoying program. I only use it because I dislike the available alternatives even more (deity, aptitude, etc.). Alternatively, if you ditch the Sun jdk non-package and install the Blackdown j2sdk .deb, then dselect will know that you have a jvm. Craig
