    repository hell thanks to iced tea

    All of a sudden I can't properly install from the repositories. I have problems whether I use Muon Discover, Muon Package Manager, or Synaptic Package Manager. I just recently attempted to install two applications in Synaptic, acetoneiso and fuseiso. Both times, the error is blamed on something called iced tea.

    Here's the fuseiso error:

    Code:
    E: icedtea-netx: 56.25:subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
    And here's the acetoneiso error:

    Code:
    E: icedtea-netx: 37.5:subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
    Acetoneiso seemed to install correctly anyway and ran right afterwards. Fuseiso did not. However, after reboot, acetoneiso no longer runs.

    I copied both applications' install processes, which I'm cut and pasting at the end of this post. These aren't the only two programs that have failed to install from the repositories. Others have failed as well. These are the two programs I've recorded the install information from.

    I did not deliberately install anything named Iced Tea. However, I do find that I have an application on my PC named “IcedTea-Web Control Panel.” It's obviously a Java-based application. Earlier today I installed a Java application named Jubler. It was not in the repositories. It had an install program named “Jubler-5.0.5-linux.sh” that worked just like a Windows installer. It installed automatically to /home/tommy/Jubler (which is a little annoying since that's not where apps go, but it runs). I looked through all the Jubler files and found none named Iced Tea.

    I googled around to see if others were having this problem. Per some of the existing advice, I tried this in the terminal:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get upgrade --fix-broken –fix-missing
    It didn't fix the problem. I still get this:
    Code:
    E: icedtea-netx: 37.5:subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
    I'm at my wits end. Does anyone know what's happening?

    Btw, here are the extended cut and pasts of the terminal from the installs:

    Both install without error here (14.10, 64-bit, KDE 4.14.2).

    Are you only using 'upgrade' with apt? I solely use dist-upgrade (full-upgrade now).
    Code:
           upgrade
               upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list. New packages will be
               installed, but existing packages will never be removed.
    
           full-upgrade
               full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but may also remove installed packages if that is required in order to resolve a package conflict.
    Try installing with apt full-upgrade acetoneiso fuseiso
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.

      I tried your suggestion. I got the same error message, though acetoneiso is running, at least for now. I suspect it won't be after a reboot. Here's the code I'm getting:

      Code:

      It's still this annoying icedtea-netx problem. I need to get rid of it. It will be a major handicap to not be able to quickly and easily install from the repositories.

        Sorry.

        Make sure your package cache is up to date: sudo apt update

        Then ensure all your installed packages are up to date: sudo apt full-upgrade

        Then: sudo apt install acetoneiso

          I tried your suggestions and got error messages again. However, acetoneiso is working, even after a reboot. At least I got that working. It seems I do need to solve the other part of the puzzle. This thing squawks every time I try to install something from the repositories.

          Here's what I got from running the Konsole commands you suggested for installing acetoneiso:

            An update. I found what I thought would be the solution here:

            https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...b/+bug/1385478

            It says to download and manually install these files in this order:
            64bits
            http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/poo...buntu1_all.deb
            http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/poo...ntu1_amd64.deb
            http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/poo...ntu1_amd64.deb

            I downloaded them and right clicked on the first one, choosing QApt Package Installer. However, the Install button was greyed out. Quite annoying. I figured I had to uninstall it first, so, in Synaptic, I uninstalled icedtea-netx-common. However, with the deb packages, the Install button was still greyed out. Just for fun, I tried installing a couple programs in Synapic. I installed krename and gwenrename with no problems. Jubler still runs.

            That begs the question: Do I need icedtea-netx-common? Is something going to quit running now that I've uninstalled it? There appears to be nothing wrong with Jubler, which I thought was the only Java app I've installed. and why were those install buttons greyed out in the deb packages?

            I'm starting to regret going for the new version of Kubuntu so early. I usually allow a lag time of a month or two to avoid dealing with these kinks.

              From the deep, dark depths of the Internet:

              If an installation breaks in the middle of the process and you find that it's no longer possible to install or remove packages, try running these two commands:


              apt-get -f install
              dpkg --configure -a
              And then try again. It may be necessary to run the second of the above commands more than once. This is an important lesson for those adventurers who use `unstable'.

                Run a 'simulated' purge of icedtea-netx: sudo apt purge --simulate icedtea-netx
                What is the output?

                  Looks like the removal in Synaptic worked. Looks like I should use this "apt-get autoremove" to uninstall the other items listed, huh? If I don't need this icedtea thing for any reason, I'm just going to leave it off. Since getting rid of it, that error has gone away. I don't need it for anything, do I?

                    Running sudo apt-get autoremove when apt reports, is a good idea; I do it. It's a way to keep your system 'clean'.

                    If having removed icedtea-netx fixed your immediate issue, and everything you use still works, don't worry about it.

                      The package icedtea-netx implements the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP), the open source equivalent of Oracle's Java Web Start (javaws). It's a dependency of icedtea-7-plugin, the browser plugin that executes Java applications over the web. Typically, these packages are installed along with openjdk-7-jre, the Java runtime. The Iced Tea project is the open source implementation of OpenJDK that's common in many Linux distributions.

                      Debian and its derivatives have an "alternatives system" that allows a system to have multiple programs to fulfill the same or similar functions. Debian's packages for all variants of Java rely on the alternatives system, meaning that it's possible to have Oracle Java and OpenJDK/Iced Tea installed together. The alternatives system relies on groups symbolic links that point to various files. One of the steps that happens during package installation is an evaluation of how the alternatives system is configured; if a particular group is missing its symbolic links, the package manager will consult the post installation script (stored on your system) for the affected package to figure out what to do.

                      For some reason, the post installation script for icedtea-netx couldn't process its alternatives setup. That's the gist of the errors you saw. The errors had absolutely nothing to do with installing acetoneiso and fuseiso. It could be related to that bug you reported.

                      You mentioned that you have one Java application, Jubler. For running local Java applications, all you need is the JRE runtime. You don't need the Iced Tea plugin or any of its dependencies. However, if you ever plan to run Java applications over the Internet, you'll need the Iced Tea stuff.

                        If you are concerned about java's lack of secuity you can go into "about:config" in FF and set "click_to_play" to false, with YouTube as an exception, if you watch a lot of YT videos. Chromium has similar settings in the advanced section. When a java applet attempts to play a "Click to activate plugin" message appears and you can make your choice to play or not to play.
