recent update broke mozilla java plugin.

[RevNomad]

A recent update broke the mozilla java plug-in. I've tried removing the broken package so I can reinstall. But Adept refuses to remove it, reinstall it, or otherwise repair it.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Bump

I really need some help on this. I've tried sudo dpkg --configure -a with no luck.

Trying to remove "sun-java6-plugin" ?

What tells (in the konsole):

sudo apt-get -s remove sun-java6-plugin

man apt-get:

-s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act
No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur but do
not actually change the system.

Or (the real thing)

sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-plugin

Fixing broken dependencies:

sudo apt-get install -f

-f, --fix-broken
Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place.
This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages
to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. Any Package that are
specified must completely correct the problem. The option is
sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time; APT itself
does not allow broken package dependencies to exist on a system. It
is possible that a system’s dependency structure can be so corrupt
as to require manual intervention (which usually means using
dselect(8) or dpkg --remove to eliminate some of the offending
packages). Use of this option together with -m may produce an error
in some situations.
