j2re1.4 - what is?

[Stephen]

While apt-getting nicotine I get a rather long customer agreement I guess related to Sun java libraries. At the end of the text the install stops. I'm not sure what to do. I end up having to kill the process.

When I go to apt-get something else I get a message to run dpkg --configure -a to fix things up.

This happens using root shell or konsole.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Run the command suggested (dpkg --configure -a) as root to configure the packages missed when you broke out of the install and apt-get --reinstall install j2re1.4 and answer yes or y to the question it asked about accepting the license or use --purge remove if you do not want the package it has nothing to do with nicotine.
