Can you please detail a bit more your installation ?

I cannot reproduce it here.

Can you attach the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list here ?

[Steve (pa53oew02)]

I am having this same issue, and have attached sources.list. Netbeans was working fine after upgrade to hardy 8.04, but last week there was an upgrade that caused all of netbeans and java to be uninstalled, and when i try to reinstall i get the error described by the original poster.

Let me know if i can supply an additional info. FYI i am not a very experienced user but will try to do my best.

thanks,
Steve

What happens if you install libnb-apisupport1-java, libnb-ide8-java, libnb-java1-java? You can try aptitude full-upgrade it first analyzes status and then asks if you want to install. So you can skip installation and attach here what it suggests to install.

What can it be? Can it become problem or not???

2008/6/20 vodarus vodarus <email address hidden>:

Yes problem was with tzdata because it is not working with tzdata-java.
aptitude downgraded tzdata, then Netbeans can be installed.

[Marek Slama (mslama-email)]

It is already fixed. Problem was with missing update for tzdata-java. tzdata was updated to version 2008c but updated tzdata-java was not available. It broke all java dependencies, Now it works fine. I did not find relevant issue for tzdata-java. tzdata update issue is #237023.

[Eric Buist (buisteric)]

I still have the same problem. I found NetBeans uninstalled last week, and I could not reinstall it again using apt-get. I had to use aptitude which downgraded tzdata. Now, each time the Ubuntu update manager starts, it asks me to do a partial upgrade, which would reinstall tzdata, and remove NetBeans.
Is it because I am using the 64-bits edition of Hardy, or because the newer tzdata-java package is in a separate repository than the standard ones. It would be a good idea to have tzdata-java in the main repository to avoid complications for people doing Java programming with NetBeans.

[Marek Slama (mslama-email)]

tzdata-java is in universe repo like openjdk and netbeans. So I do not see any problem with it. universe is enabled by default. What is version of tzdata you have? Do you have any frozen package set? (ie. is installed and latest version the same?) 2008d is latest version in hardy (both tzadata and tzdata-java). I will check hardy 64bit version.

I tried to apt-ger dist-upgrade and apt going to uninstall tzdata-java &

I do not know what is wrong. I have openjdk6 and netbeans installed on
my 32bit hardy but tzdata-java is not installed.
openjdk 6b10-0ubuntu1
netbeans 6.0.1-0ubuntu2
tzdata 2008d-1ubuntu0.8.04
tzdata-java NOT installed and latest version displayed in synaptic is
the same as for tzdata.

Marek

My hardy was updated from previous version 7.10.

[Marek Slama (mslama-email)]

openjde-6-headless uses recommends on tzdata-java. It is strong but not
absolute dependency.

It means that when you install openjre it will install tzdata-java but
later you can remove tzdata-java.

So please check what openjre version do you have.

I will try to uninstall netbeans+openjdk and install netbeans. It should
install also tzdata-java + openjdk.
I let you know the result.

Hello,
I am using sun-java6-jdk as a JDK, not OpenJDK. But I have installed
openjdk-jre to get the Firefox 64 bits plugin.
On my 32 bits laptop running Hardy, I do not have this problem.
So this may be a 64-bits specific problem, or it may be caused by the
fact I have made a dist-upgrade from Gutsy. On the laptop, I made a
clean install after an hard disk failure.

Hello,
If I look in Synaptic, the version of tzdata and tzdata-java I have
installed is 2008b. The last available version is 2008c for tzdata, and
2008b for tzdata-java. Was tzdata-java 2008c updated in the repos? Why
do I only obtain the 2008b?

Hello,
I could work around the problem by manually installing tzdata and
tzdata-java 2008c. So this may be a bug with apt-get which does not
detect the newer version of tzdata-java. It also does not detect newer
2008d and 2008e versions of tzdata and tzdata-java in the repositories.
May this be caused by the fact that tzdata is on the main repository
while tzdata-java is on universe?

It looks like problem with apt-get. Looks like bad detection of tzdata-java and wrong dependency of jre/jdk on tzdata-java. For me it is not absolute dependency but suggest. I do not know if it was changed in last update of openjdk package or if mentioned sun-java-* packages have different dependency (I did not find any). I can say netbeans packages do not have any explicit dependency on tzdata-java.

[Eric Buist (buisteric)]

Hello,
The problem came back because of a new version of tzdata. Now, the newest version of tzdata is 2008e while tzdata-java is 2008c. Synaptic
or apt-get do not detect the new tzdata-java but detect tzdata so
update-manager always and always proposes me to do a partial upgrade
which will remove Java and Netbeans.
So that is a no-go for me; I have to try a clean reinstall in the hope
it will clear the bug, or wait for the release of Ubuntu 8.10. I will
rather change distribution if I really have to wait so long or reformat.
Eric

[Eric Buist (buisteric)]

tzdata is in Main repository while tzdata-java is in Universe.
Last time I tried to enable proposed updates, tzdata and tzdata-java 2008e were available as updates.
For now, I manually downloaded tzdata and tzdata-java, and installed them using dpkg, at least to avoid the message about partial upgrades each time the Update Manager checks for updates.

Milan first make sure you have enough space on your system partition. Then try to check for broken packages (try Edit -> Fix Broken Packages in synaptic.) Make sure you have jdk and jre installed on your system (either open or sun). Then install netbeans. If it fails you can download either zip or Linux installer from netbeans.org.
