Dear Michel,
Thank you, that worked, but now I have a question which may be stupid
as I don't know much about Java.  I had the j2sdk package installed,
but it was automatically uninstalled as part of the update and won't
reinstall.  The error messages are

Missing Dependency: j2sdk = 2000:1.4.2_90-fcs is needed by package java-1.4.2-sun-compat
Missing Dependency: java-1.5.0-sun-compat is needed by package java-1.4.2-sun-compat

What's the difference between j2sdk and jdk?
Eva.
