Re: Configuring java plugin for iceweasel on amd64
Eduardo -- thanks, your fix worked! I now have Java working correctly on iceweasel. Ron -- I'm having a problem which is unrelated to the one I posted on. For some reason I can't get aptitude to locate and install packages which are clearly visible in the repository. This happened earlier with my evince upgrade, which I ultimately achieved via gdebi. This time I went to synaptic and it was able to locate and install the sun-java6-plugin package. In both cases aptitude was not able to locate the package. Eventually I'll have to figure out what the problem is, but so far I've just worked around it.

Re: aptitude can't find a package? (was Re: Configuring java plugin for iceweasel on amd64)
Hi, Ron -- Unfortunately I can't currently reproduce the problem: since I installed the package using synaptic, aptitude reports that the package is installed! I think for now we should regard this issue as closed. If it comes up again (likely, given my absurdly low level of linux competence), I'll reopen it in a fresh thread. -PT
