Victor, Try using the command line to install
i.e. sudo dpkg -i <nameofpackage> if you need deps you might need to download those also before it all works.

Java6.bin and java6.jre are still not downloaded. Annoying. The download from Janosh will also not install as the package manager reverts to the repository.
