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
