I would like to invite anyone reading this to consider installing the
(officially supported) package icedtea6-plugin and test whether their
frequently used Java web applications work with it. I know the open-
source Java implementations have been plagued by all kinds of
compatibility issues, but Op
I found this workaround today. I added the repository and installed
the latest version. Hopefully this method helps people (not a bug fix
but a good workaround). If you use it you agree to Oracles terms.

I second the wish that a description was in my face at the time of the
update. Once somebody blocks an update such as this the burden of
security is on them. I was at 6.29 using my overwrite method mentioned
above. This update blew all that away since it was designed to deal
with the insecure 6.
@jane: I assume it can be done with an empty package (similar like they
will ship the last sun-java6)

Browser plugin not working after upg
A pity that the decision to disable the plugin wasn't included in the
description. I would have known not to spend the time on reporting a bug
that isn't. :)
Somewhat off-topic, but if one wants to install Oracle java manually
(per the instructions on java.com), how does one deal with the packages
Ah ha. Marc's the rude guy that did this to my jre :) Just kidding.
I've never been fan of shooting the messenger and security must be top
priority.
I wish I could find the location of the Oracle proposal to create
downloadable deb files and make them available on the donload page (I
saw it abo
I still can't believe oracle will pull this through ... so there will be
no debian release for sun-java unless you install it on your own?

Unfortunately, Oracle will not permit us to distribute updates to the
sun-java6 package that was in the -partner repository, so the browser
plugin has been disabled.

apt-cache policy sun-java6-bin should tell you what the current
(corrupt) version is, I changed it back to release #1, if your ppa still
ships the older version this should work as well for you

Thanks Tuxo for a better method. That's the first thing I tried to do.
Odd I could not find the previous version when I tried to do it. That's
the only reason I used the PPA.

OK. A quick workaround... So it's been less than an hour and I used a
popular ppa to put everything back to 6.26 (it seems nearly the same as
the partner version). I then downloaded the latest jre from the Oracle
site, executed it to extract the contents and then copied the contents
of .../jre1.6
By the way... I was not using 6.26 in it's vulnerable condition but
rather manually copied 6.29 over the top of the 6.26 installation. The
manual installations on the internet are garbage requiring maintenance
that the native installation did not need. I tell you I am really sad
to not have this
Oh. BTW my online banking will not work with openjdk 6/7 as currently
available. I tried it. Argh!
