[Solved] JDk/Jre install issues

[kingkong]

Kubuntu version 10.04
KDE version: 4.4.5
Grub version: 0.9

If I go to KpackageKit and try to download sun-java6-jre, sun-java-jdk, and sun-java-plugin they start then it says you need to download these files:unixodbc, odbcinst, obdcinst1debain1, java-common, sun-java6-bin, and gsfonts-x11. I click continue. I give the authorization and it says waiting for package lock and it stays like that forever. So I try downloading it in Terminal. I type sudo apt-get update, and it updates. Then I type: sudo apt-get install (sun-java6-jre,jdk,plugin) whatever I want to install, and it says: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Re: JDk/Jre install issues

Thanks it helps a bit. Heres the install and tell me what I need to do to make it finish:


Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sun-java6-jre: Depends: sun-java6-bin (>= 6.26-1maverick1) but it is not going to be installed or
ia32-sun-java6-bin (>= 6.26-1maverick1) but it is not installable
Recommends: gsfonts-x11 but it is not going to be installed
sun-java6-plugin: Depends: sun-java6-bin (>= 6.26-1maverick1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Re: JDk/Jre install issues

I did apt-get -f install and it said:


E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?



I'm the only account on this computer so I'm guessing im the root

Re: JDk/Jre install issues

that should be

sudo apt-get -f install

to run a command as root you must use sudo before the command

allso do not have a GUI package manager open wile trying to use the command line and apt
