Are you sure that the things you want to do work correctly, depency-wise?
Well, they had for a long time anyhow. Ant is a java package, and I
install java, I just don't know gnu java, I use sun java (which can't
live in the main apt repositories cause of the software license). I
imagine that at one point in time, Ant wasn't dependent on gcj, but
perhaps they added it.
Sounds quite reasonable that ant depends on some java base package,
and therefore is removed when you throw java base packages away.
FAI doesn't circumvent dependencies normally, it uses normal apt and
aptitude calls. I am not sure if there is something to force doing
things against dependencies.
Alright, its not too much of a pain. gcj will install things into my
path, I just need to unlink them and put links to the sun java. Nothing
a script can't do, sometimes I just wish things wouldn't get "fixed".
Thanks,
