Ug. This is getting ugly really fast. I'm really not on home ground here at
all.
After 15 minutes of trying to make sense of what I found at
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/s/sun-java6/, I downloaded
sun-java6-bin_6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04_i386.deb and
sun-java6-jre_6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04_all.deb, following the thread at
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=125253&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
<http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=125253&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0>.
.
Then I did this at a console, with the following result:
tomc@LDT:~/software_archive$ sudo dpkg --unpack
sun-java6-bin_6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04_i386.deb
[sudo] password for tomc:

Most of this is just garble to me,
THIS is scary: "dpkg: warning: downgrading sun-java6-bin from 6.26-1natty1 to
6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04."
I said UNPACK, not INSTALL. What's this "downgrading" nonsense? Then this:
"Preparing to replace sun-java6-bin 6.26-1natty1" Huh? All this on an "unpack".
This is beyond scary. This is nuts. What's up with this???
Then, and this is the main problem - where's the result of the command? I
expected the unpack to put files in a dir, in the same dir as the DEB file.
Isn't this usually what happens when one unpacks a file? But there's nothing
there.
I'm in freefall right now. Don't know what just happened, don't know what to do
next. Can anyone help?
Guess I'm not going to get any db work done tonight, after all. Not a good day.
Tom
Hi
Don't worry about downgrading a package. It's easy to upgrade again if you
need
to do that later. Sometimes packages suffer from regressions making it
important to downgrade. Wine has often suffered from this.
