I am trying to install bindiff. When I try to install through archive manager I am welcomed by the following message "Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java6-jre". (I am running ubuntu 12.10)
I have tried adding a repository
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
This did not work.
I also currently have java 7 installed, and have done sudo apt-get update
I tried "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk" and I receive the following:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'sun-java6-jdk' has no installation candidate
SOLVED: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get remove java-common sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer sudo apt-get purge java common
Use the following terminal commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove java-common
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
sudo apt-get purge java common
