Comment 7 for bug 125591

On a fresh 9.10 install, freeguide installs and runs. It has the odd
quirk, but they may be different bugs, or problems caused by the Java
runtime it's using. The interesting thing is, none of the Java packages
it claims to need are installed AFAICS.

    $ apt-cache show freeguide
    ...
    Version: 0.10.9-1
    Depends: xmltv-gui, openjdk-6-jre | java2-runtime, openjdk-6-jre-headless | java-virtual-machine

    $ apt-rdepends --state-follow=Installed -p freeguide
    freeguide
      Depends: java-virtual-machine [NotInstalled]
      Depends: java2-runtime [NotInstalled]
      Depends: openjdk-6-jre [NotInstalled]
      Depends: openjdk-6-jre-headless [NotInstalled]
      Depends: xmltv-gui [Installed]
    xmltv-gui
    ...

So why `apt-get install' thought it was OK to proceed, I don't know.
