How could the problem be with the mirror? As far as I understand it, this is what happens:
- Someone has a fully-updated Ubuntu but no Java installed - This means they have tzdata-2008g (I think it's g) - They try and install Java using apt-get - openjdk-jre-6-headless has an "=" dependency on tzdata-2008b - openjdk-jre-6-headless refuses to install due to a version mismatch - and apt-get won't or can't downgrade the tzdata package to fix it Result: you have to downgrade manually. I guess the only reason it could be a mirror issue is if the problem had actually been fixed but the mirror didn't have an updated version of openjdk-jre-6-headless. I think that's highly unlikely because the several people reporting the problem will be using different mirrors. And I get updates to my machine all the time, so it's not like the mirror is dead.
