[Bug 1302736] Re: apt 0.9.15.4ubuntu4 uninstalls ppa:webupd8team/java oracle-java[78]-installer

[Gao Shichao]

Where is sun-java6-jdk in the ubuntu repo
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=sun-
java6&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all) ? Why apt package need to
break it if there is no such package in the repo? Or I didn' t find its
existence in the official repo?
