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.
