advice getting jre installed

[Noah]

Hi there,

I am having a little difficulty getting the jre rpm installed.  I am unable to
figure out the proper dependencies to retrieve and install with apt-get.  some
of the dependencies are in fact installed but still rpm complains about them
not being installed.  like gawk is in fact installed.  I dont know what
apt-get shoudl retrieve to intall the proper dependencies for sh-utils,
fileutils, testutils, and glibc.  so somebody please help me with the next
steps of getting jre installed.
