According to the info I found on the Debian wiki the package is not there to be installed with Synaptic: "Sun Java is no longer available in the repositories" (wiki.debian.org/Java/Sun). I can't find the how-to that I followed to do the installation (when I wrote the first mail this morning I thought that it was from the Debian wiki but since I can't find it I assume that it is from a Debian user forum or from a Debian derivative forum or something similar). Anyway I purged the packages that were installed and I removed the (symbolic) links that were created with the ln command. But there are some commands that I don't know how to "undo" and if it is even necessary. These commands are: --------8<---------------------8<----------------------8<------------ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk1.8.0_25/bin/java 1 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /opt/jdk1.8.0_25/bin/javac 1 update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so mozilla-javaplugin.so /opt/jdk1.8.0_25/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so mozilla-javaplugin.so /opt/jdk1.8.0_25/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 1 update-alternatives --set java /opt/jdk1.8.0_25/bin/java update-alternatives --set javac /opt/jdk1.8.0_25/bin/javac update-alternatives --set javac /opt/jdk1.8.0_25/bin/javac update-alternatives --set mozilla-javaplugin.so /opt/jdk1.8.0_25/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so -------->8--------------------->8---------------------->8------------ I am wondering if I should just uninstall every package with java or jre in its name and then just re-install one of the open-jdk or icedtea packages and let apt do its magic...
