So, my java is OpenJDK. I found (after a lot of searching): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u3-download-1501626.html from which I downloaded: http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u3-b04/jdk-7u3-linux-x64.rpm However, since my OS is ubuntu, and my synaptic doesn't know how to install .rpm, I had to examine a bunch of man pages before resorting to googling for 'synaptic rpm' which showed: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware#lastresorts That suggested to use alien, which I did but got errors: -{--cut here-- fakeroot alien --keep-version jdk-7u3-linux-x64.rpm error: incorrect format: unknown tag Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package jdk: postinst postrm prerm Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts.
