2006-11-01 21:18:26 Richard Birnie description Binary package hint: sun-java5-bin System Kubuntu 6.10. bug also affects sun-java5-jre When attempting to install sun-java5-bin and/or sun-java5-jre using adept the install hangs at the point when it should display the license agreement for confirmation. If I press the show details button the license is visible but there is no way to select OK using either the mouse or the keyboard. The only way to resolve this is to kill adept manually. However this leaves adept in an unusable condition. I have given a work around below but adept needs to handle this more gracefully. Work around #manually kill adept sudo killall adept #this is necessary to get adept to work again sudo dpkg --configure -a #install java manually from the commandline. Using this method the license agreement is displayed correctly and can be confirmed so the install proceeds sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin Binary package hint: sun-java5-bin System Kubuntu 6.10. bug also affects sun-java5-jre When attempting to install sun-java5-bin and/or sun-java5-jre using adept the install hangs at the point when it should display the license agreement for confirmation.

2007-01-30 10:58:41 Anthony Mercatante adept: statusexplanation so this is really a bug in adept then. That's in the adept feisty spec. The problem is due to kdesu and profile loading, since the graphical qt/debconf frontend should appear there. Changed status to "in progress" since that's handled by the Kubuntu devel team for the feisty release
