Ubuntu
software-center package

Install sun-jave6-jdk E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Asked by Raghu natrajan

I tried to install java6-jdk and while jre was configuring electricity went off:
I tried again: This is the result:
raghu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 sun-java6-jdk : Depends: sun-java6-bin (>= 6.22-0ubuntu1~10.10) but it is not going to be installed
                 Recommends: visualvm but it is not going to be installed
 sun-java6-jre : Depends: sun-java6-bin (>= 6.22-0ubuntu1~10.10) but it is not going to be installed or
                          ia32-sun-java6-bin (>= 6.22-0ubuntu1~10.10) but it is not installable
                 Recommends: gsfonts-x11 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal, then please type:

sudo apt-get -f install

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