Does package manager tools (Synaptic, Aptitude...) support License agreement ?

Asked by Testing Tigerwolf

I have had the Bug #350972 "Kpackagekit not able to install sun java due to license agreement", on my machine fitted with Kubuntu 9.04 RC.

Does this problem occures only for java license agreement, or does KPackageKit crash systematically du to a license agreement ? What about other package manager tools (Synaptic, Aptitude, ...) ? Are they support icense agreement ?

Installing Java using aptitude, apt-get or Synaptic, etc. provide functionality to pop up a graphical license agreement during the installation. Java install works with these when you accept the agreement.

How to install sun-java6

Please first enable the multiverse repository: enable "Software restrictecd by copyright or legal issue ( multiverse )"

Then open a Terminal type or better copy and paste one row a time and after pasting the single row please press enter:

sudo aptitude update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

and then select this as your default java jre with

sudo update-java-alternatives

Hope this helps
