Resolving package conflicts for old Jave Runtime Environment (JRE 1.4)
Hi all!
I just updated to Debian Lenny, and while installing some legacy apps I encountered this problem:
I need to use a version of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for backup, which uses the JRE 1.4 for the GUI app.
I have an deb packacke with jre1.4, but aptitude complains about package conflicts (with xulrunner-1.9 specifically).
I checked the content of the jre1.4 package, the conflict didn't seem so bad, so I installed anyway using dpgk --force-conflicts. And actually, everything seems fine.
Except that whenever I run aptitude now to install some other software, aptitude suggests removing the conflicting packages.
How do I deal with this?
Should I install jre1.4 "outside" the package management system? Or is there a way to tell aptitude to ignore this conflict?
cheers, kai
