A similar situation happened to me in regards to an applications' init.d file not functioning properly so I just updated the init.d script itself and then dpkg removed it fine. I did not try Chris' suggestion of dpkg --remove.
As for j2re1.3 for the ppc, check out blackdown. They do have the sdk for the ppc. Elizabeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
