Yes, it appears to have changed little. Still failing. > Another option is possibly to pre-empt it and go ahead and delete: > /usr/share/icons/sun-java5.png Actually, there is no such file. I assume it is trying to install one, but I can't be sure. At some point during this process things changed, and now I am not getting the same complaint as before. Rather, all it says now is: dpkg: error processing sun-java5-bin (--remove): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. Errors were encountered while processing: sun-java5-bin E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I think my machine is becoming condescending about this. :-) All I can think is Duh, it is in a "very bad inconsistent state." But, I cannot reinstall as the same thing pops up then. Right now all that I get is the above complaint, regardless of what I do with apt. Very confusing I must say.
