Oh, you wanted to install Java on your Ubuntu Box? Its surprisingly nontrivial. The repository provides a Debian package with the script and the same support files as in the support tarball. Setting things up is a bit more work, but the script will be properly integrated in your system. Additional advantages: a possibly installed out-of-date sun-java6 installation will be removed completely and if you keep the software source in your list, you will automatically receive updates of the script. The procedure: put the line deb duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all in the file /etc/apt/sources.list, either using Software Sources from your System Menu or by editing the file in an editor (as root) or: put this line in a file named (e.g.) duinsoft.list in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d import the gpg key with the command (all on one line) sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 5CB26B26 enter the commands (two lines) sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install update-sun-jre or use Synaptic to install the package installation of the Runtime Environment will follow automatically Using the script apt-add-repository -available for Ubuntu- is not advisable because that script makes a few incorrect assumptions. The key server keys.gnupg.net mentioned above is just an example. You can use any reliable key server. If the apt-key command produces an error, try one of the servers from this page. - duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en
