icedtea-plugin

[handheldcar]

I can't make Java work in my browser because of the following:

icedtea-plugin: Depends: xulrunner-1.9.1 which is a virtual package.

I guess I'll file a bug unless someone has a solution.

If you are running sid see this link: http://www.aptosid.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=1701

Thanks, I use Sid packages when necessary, so I'll check back again daily.

Are you using squeeze? If so, it looks like I currently have both xulrunner-1.9.1 and 1.9.2 installed, the 1.9.2 came from the backports repo. It looks like 1.9.1 should be available in the main repo? (Specifically synaptic shows installed and available version of 1.9.1.16-9) hth.

[handheldcar]

No, I'm mostly using testing.

I know there's a command-line syntax in apt-get to enable the squeeze repo, but I'm not sure what it is. My method would be to either open synaptic and add the following and enable it temporarily, update, install the version of xulrunner you want and then un-enable that repo and update again.

Or you could use an editor like nano or use gksudo and geany or whatever you prefer to add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list and then comment out the line afterward.

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

Obviously that's a good mirror location for the u.s., if you're elsewhere then adjust per your current sources.list

If you currently have a newer version of xulrunner installed, it might complain. If so you might want to download the deb package from the mirror, which you can find from here: http://packages.debian.org/stable/xulrunner-1.9.1
You will then have to either use gdebi on the desktop if you have it installed, or dpkg in a terminal (sudo dpkg -i xulrunner-1.9.1.16-9.deb) and it should install.

I think that's a good idea. Thanks, I'll do that.

[handheldcar]

Yep, that worked. I had to downgrade libmozjs2d to stable. Thanks

As far i can tell it installs in Sid now (if one could add it from Sid to testing already i don't know, but it shouldn't take long, like usual).

[handheldcar]

Yep, thanks for the heads-up.

Code: Select all

aptitude -t unstable install icedtea-plugin icedtea-netx libmozjs2d-

Turns out I didn't "downgrade" libmozjs2d to stable; I never had it before this thread. I installed the stable version which is the only version in the stable to unstable repos.
