Bug Description

Refusing the License agreement did not end/cancel the installation process, and caused system to interpret 'crash' state.
(I did not agree with Sun Java's licensing terms, and did not 'accept', but clicked 'cancel'; canceling installation on the license window caused the system crash.)

I had this problem occur during an update,and install.Iwas trying to install in a terminal,however,trying to do it this way results in not being able to accept the liscence agreement.I solved this by installing using synaptic package manager.Me bad.

In my opinion the "Bug"is in the way this application gets installed using the terminal.It will download just fine,but when it gets to the installing part,there is no way to accept the agreement while still in the terminal.It does however install just fine through synaptic.Operator error I suppose!
