Searching for java in Synaptic, except for the obviously non-related packages that just have Java in their description, they are:
bsh fastjar gcj-4.1-base gdb gij gij-4.1 java-common java-gcj-compat libgcj7-0 libgcj7-jar libgcj-common libhsqldb-java libjaxp1.2-java libjaxp1.3-java libjline-java libservlet2.3-java libswt3.2-gtk-java libswt3.2-gtk-jni libxalan2-java libxerces2-java sun-java6-bin sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin Try to reproduce this on your system by installing the sun-java6-* packages I listed and then install iriverter; java-gcj-compat will be installed and when you run iriverter from the commandline, it will output: /usr/bin/iriverter: 4: java: not found Perhaps as a related error, I downloaded the source (v. 0.16) from http://iriverter.sourceforge.net/ and ran the configure file and it stopped with an error: checking for javac... no configure: error: Can't find "javac" in your PATH -- iriverter doesn't recognize Java on my system https://launchpad.net/bugs/78065 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
