Hi,
I followed the path to upgrade my karmic koala to the Lucid Lynx beta last night. It spent an eon adding and subtracting software. Anyway, everything is OK with the exception of java6 jre. I need it to run an app I have but it the system says it's not there. When I try to install sun-java6-jre through the system settings > install new software that tells me that the attempt to load it is being blocked by sun-java6-jre. Now when the package appears in the software the down arrow is at the right not the 'X'.
It appears I need to force the removal of all references to sun-java6-jre so that I can install it properly. Anyone got any ides how to go about this??
I realize that some may think I'm on the wrong forum to ask this but I don't know of a forum for the Lucid Lynx upgrade yet??
Any and all help appreciated.
