In general, deleting things in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ is the *WRONG* thing to do.

When I run the apt-get install openjdk-7-jre I get the same error as below, any ideas?

Hi,

at first glance it seems that the package provided by oracle is buggy. Have you tried the following?

Code:

dpkg --configure --pending

Assuming the above fails the next step would probably be to debug the post install script. This should be at /var/lib/dokg/info/<package>.postinst

Any particular reason you want to install this? When I'm force to use java programs I generally find that openjdk-6-jre works.

No I have not. Thanks for the tip. I am following directions and I am trying to install minecraft on my server for my brother.

It seems to be working. My java is:

HTH,

The dpkg --configure --pending didnt work. Is there a way that I could remove the openjdk-7-jre and install openjdk-6-jre with out it snagging on this line:

Code:

Oracle JDK 7 is NOT installed.

Hi,

have you tried the following?

Code:

dpkg --purge oracle-java7-installer

techis · 07-26-2012, 09:48 AM

That worked thank you. Not entirely related to these posts but do you know how to log into the minecraft server?

Hmmm, not sure what you mean. Perhaps you are talking about how to run the client program?
Anyway best that you start a new thread if you have questions about running minecraft.

Still ran into this old problem, like this:

Code:

$ xdvi something.dvi 
The program 'xdvi' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install texlive-binaries

OK, I tried that:

I didn't need to:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove texlive-binaries
sudo apt-get install texlive-binaries

To my surprise and relief, that fixed the apt errors. To get xdvi to work (and generate fonts as needed), I also had to

Code:

sudo apt-get install texlive-base

That seems to be necessary, but not formally a required package.
