FYI...it seems that the removal strategy has changed... SMK
----- Original message ----- From: "Marc Deslauriers" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:56:29 -0500 Subject: Java packages in Partner archive to be removed on 2012-02-16 The Canonical partner archive currently contains Oracle's Sun Java JDK packages (sun-java6) for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 11.04. As of August 24th 2011, we no longer have permission to redistribute new Java packages as Oracle has retired the “Operating System Distributor License for Java” [1][2]. In accordance with our previous announcement [3][4], we will be removing the Sun JDK packages from the partner archive on February 16th 2012. In order to prevent unexpected failures, we will not be pushing out empty packages before removing them from the archive. The Sun JDK packages will remain installed on current systems with no further security updates. On new systems, it will no longer be possible to install the packages from the partner archive. Sun Java 6 Users are encouraged to migrate to an alternative solution as specified in the wiki [3]. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your understanding.
