All packages in Debian they provide java-virtual-machine work with bootchart-view. But all alternative JVMs do only work with svg output and only Sun's JVM support png. This is the reason, why I don't want restrict the dependencies upon the JVMs in Debian. > The problem here is that bootchart-view depends on '| java-virtual-machine', > which does not satisfy its runtime needs.

I can not find this package $ apt-cache search j2re1.4 openoffice.org - OpenOffice.org Office suite version 2.0 openoffice.org2 - OpenOffice.org Office suite version 2.0 $ Can I depend on packages they are not in Debian?
