Firefox gives me an option to install 'icedtea-gcjwebplugin'. The installation stops with an error to do with unresolved dependencies. The same thing happens in Synaptic. Another user is also currently having this issue and posted the following information when trying to install the plug-in using apt-get: $ sudo apt-get install icedtea-gcjwebplugin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: icedtea-gcjwebplugin: Depends: icedtea6-plugin but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages Finally bug 283950 also states this issue but I was advised to raise a new bug report instead of continuing with 283950.
