So I installed the Java addon. But where is it?

Thanks for your reply Stefan. I really would like to get Java up and running so that I can attempt to install servo.

I *think* I once built a "real" add-on for OpenJDK 1.6. Real in the sense that it doesn't rely on apt-get to work but comes with all the needed binaries in the package. No promises given but I can have a look whether I still have that.

The thing I dont understand is that I installed it via frontview and it never barked. Just installed and said good to go. I dont see anythng in /var/log.

Well, the installer will only bark when told to do so ;) And since the apt-get command would always return an error code, even with -y specified, it makes sense to not bark there.

of course, on 4.2.19 I cant run apt-get update. What is the score with this anyway? When can we expect to be able to get it?

I don't think I understand what your question is, there. Can you clarify?
