problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless [SOLVED]

[swefal]

old intel-based desktop with 32 bit kubuntu 9.04.

in the past couple of weeks every time i run an update it aborts it, saying it has a problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless. i've tried to manually reinstall it and even remove it via synaptic but again, it just told me it has a problem with it and aborted. what to do?

Re: problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless

Two things you might try for starters:

1. Make sure no other applications are running when you do the upgrade. That would especially apply to openoffice.org and firefox.

2. Try updating from the command line with the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If those still don't work, try logging out, log in to the command console, and do the update/dist-upgrade from there.

Re: problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless

when i do the distro update it tells me it has a problem with the java 6 files and it can't perform the update. when i try to reinstall or uninstall java 6 it gives me a message such as this:

E: sun-java6-bin: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

i haven't tried logging in to the console (i don't know how to anyway but i'm willing to try messing with it and looking in forum archives if you think it might help) but i don't think it would do any good since it says that it can't continue with corrupt or missing files.

Re: problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless

Sounds like there is some conflict between sun java and openjava.
I have both on my system, and they coexist just fine.
Hopefully someone with more expertise on java than I have can step in and help here.

Re: problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless

they co-existed just fine on my machine too, this just started a week ago (i've had this kubuntu for a couple of months now).

Re: problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless

Unless someone with more expertise jumps in, I would suggest the following:

sudo apt-get check

If the doesn't tell you anything, then:

dpkg-query --status openjdk-6-jre-headless

See if that tells you anything useful.

You might also try:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure openjdk-6-jre-headless

And see if that tells you anything useful.

If not, the only thing left to do is completely remove all openjdk packages and reinstall.
You might try that with synaptic, but if it fails, then you will have to do something like:

sudo apt-get remove --purge openjdk*

or maybe do that for each individual openjdk package, and then do a reinstall.

I'm shooting in the dark here, as I don't really know what's messed up. My guess is there's some mess up in the package database. If you try to do a remove and purge, be careful of what it tells you it's going to remove. It might try to remove kde altogether, for example, and you don't want that happening, at least not unexpectedly.

Re: problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless

i've just tried all of the above. the check went fine, the status went fine, installing and uninstalling still returns an error. when i tried your purge idea (sudo apt-get remove --purge openjdk-6-jre-headless" it said some things will and won't get deleted, i read it carefully and saw it's only the java files and libraries so i clicked yes. it returned the following:

Removing default-jre ...

after that it simply aborted.

Re: problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless

Looks like problems with the alternatives system. We should be able to fix it.

1. Open a terminal: paste output from "update-alternatives --list java"
2. Also paste output from "aptitude search sun-java6" and "aptitude search openjdk"

Re: problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless

Try these commands from a terminal:

sudo aptitude keep-all
sudo aptitude clean
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre
sudo update-alternatives --config java (select /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java if given the choice)
sudo aptitude purge -f openjdk-jre-headless

Re: problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless

I made one mistake in my previous post. It should of been "sudo aptitude purge -f openjdk-6-jre-headless" instead of "sudo aptitude purge -f openjdk-jre-headless". Run the corrected command. I think we are close to a resolution. Paste the output from "aptitude search openjdk" again. I want to make sure no openjdk packages are installed, then go ahead and execute "sudo aptitude full-upgrade" to upgrade your system. If all goes well, no errors, you can reinstall openjdk again if you like. It's not necessary to have both.

Re: problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless

I blundered.

The command should be "sudo aptitude purge -f openjdk-6-jre-headless". I got the package name wrong in my previous post.

That should do it. Run "sudo aptitude full-upgrade" to upgrade.

Re: problem with openjdk-6-jre-headless

doesn't look like this did the trick either. even after purging it still told me i have the corrupt file.:
