** Description changed: I did this: sudo apt-get remove sun-java* sudo apt-get remove openjdk* sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jdk sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun Which resulted also in the removal of Netbeans. I tried installing it but got errors similar to the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install netbeans Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... 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 or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: netbeans: Depends: libnb-apisupport1-java (>= 6.0.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libnb-ide8-java (>= 6.0.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libnb-java1-java (>= 6.0.1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages So then I did this: sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jdk sudo apt-get autoremove and got this: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: unixodbc odbcinst1debian1 The following packages will be REMOVED: odbcinst1debian1 unixodbc 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

It is only by accident that I specified that inmformation. + sudo apt-get install netbeans And got the above error message. I'm rather certain from all of this that I broke it, but I'm not absolutely sure. I only got into this mess because of trying to make Java applets work inside Firefox3, as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=825920
