Confirmation of the bug from my end. There is indeed a 9.04 reference in the package versioning, but the same applies for the other sun-java6-* packages and those just work. The problem with the *plugin package is that it is pointing to the 6.15 version of *bin that is not in the karmic repository.
So while there are probably some cosmetic reasons to fix those version labels, there is a more stressing reason to fix the issue surrounding the plugin. Below some more output showing the issue: $ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [...] The following packages have unmet dependencies: sun-java6-plugin: Depends: sun-java6-bin (= 6-15-1) but 6-16-0ubuntu1.9.04 is to be installed $ apt-show-versions sun-java6-bin sun-java6-bin 6-16-0ubuntu1.9.04 newer than version in archive (both on a recent karmic upgrade from jaunty) -- sun-java6-plugin not available for karmic (error: dependency on 9.04 = Jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477385 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
