Marek, hello, thanks for your reply. I may not have explained the problem properly.
When trying to install netbeans using synaptic, a long list of other programs and libraries are installed as well. These are: libappframework-java libbeansbinding-java libini4j-java libnb-apisupport-java libnb-ide8-java libnb-java1-java libnb-javaparser-java libnb-svnclientadapter-java libswingworker-java openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless openjdk-6-jre-lib I understand netbeans has a dependency on openjdk-6-jdk | sun-java6-jdk, what I don't understand is why I can install sun-java6-jdk (which needs to be explicitly installed) and still have the openjdk forced onto me. The sun offering is available from the multiverse repository, why is the openjdk forced on the user when there is a compatible jdk already installed? If I'm going at this from the wrong angle, please let me know - I'm trying to be a bit helpful here rather than a pain. regards, Alan 2008/8/18 Marek Slama <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > netbeans 6.0.1 package has runtime dependency on openjdk-6-jdk | sun- > java6-jdk.
