package sun-java6-jre 6-04-1 failed to install/upgrade: "... libjli.so: cannot open shared object file"

Can you reproduce this issue with up-to-date Hardy?

Yes, of course.

Heres the full apt-code.

I can reproduce this in a sandbox environment where there's no /proc mounted. You're running this on a LiveCD environment right? Could you check if the proc is mounted? --> mount | grep proc

If /proc is not mounted for some reason, then do 'sudo mount -t proc proc /proc' and try installing sun-java6-jre again.

Unfortunately this is not the reason for this error. When I type your given command, i get to know that /proc is mounted:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mount | grep proc
proc on /proc type proc (rw)

P.S.: I think this bug's importance-state should be at least medium, cause if this bug will stay in the final release of gutsy, people will not be able to use java-apps. Of course, if this bug only occours in the live-system, it would be okay, but i don't think that this is like that.

P.P.S.: Excuse my possibly bad expression.

I just hit this same issue on a gutsy live CD. Have not tried lately on gutsy proper.

Is this only happening in LiveCD (casper) environment?

Could you post the output of
$ ldd /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java

I don't know if this only happens in Casper-Environment: I don't want to install an Ubuntu-Alpha on my productive machine.

The output of ldd /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java after the installation-failure:
 linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7fa5000)
 libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7f7f000)
 libjli.so => not found
 libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7f7a000)
 libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7e2b000)
 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fa6000)

(Testet with the brand-new alpha6)

I apply to the maintainers of this package: The JRE is very important an this _has to be fixed_ up to the final release of gutsy.

P.S.: Excuse my possibly bad english.

Sorry, I meant hardy.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  sun-java6-bin: Depends: sun-java6-jre (= 6-06-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
