Hello,
I am trying to install java6 from etch backports on an amd64 machine.
Problem is that sun-java6-jre (machine independent) is version
6-06-1~bpo40+1
(which is version i386 uses) but the rest of amd64 sun-java5 packages are
6-00-2~bpo.1
apt-get -s install -f sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-doc
sun-java6-demo sun-java6-bin
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sun-java6-bin: Depends: sun-java6-jre (= 6-00-2~bpo.1) but
6-06-1~bpo40+1 is to be installed

sun-java6-jre: Depends: sun-java6-bin (= 6-06-1~bpo40+1) but
6-00-2~bpo.1 is to be installed or
ia32-sun-java6-bin (= 6-06-1~bpo40+1) but it is
not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
Presumably jre version 6-06-1~bpo40+1 would be fine???
If so how to force the install?
thanks
