Removing openjdk-6-jre without the installation of sun-java6-jre

Question

I have alrady installed (manually, from the .bin file) the latest jre (Version 6 Update 30) from oracle and now i want to remove the openjdk-6-jre. However, apt forces me to install old (Version 6 Update 26) sun-java6-jre! So, can I remove the openjdk-6-jre (and the icedtea plugin) without installing sun-java6-jre? Or is it trivial to try to remove openjdk-6-jre as it is "harmless"?

sudo apt-get remove openjdk-6-jre-headless

Answer 1

sudo apt-get remove openjdk-6-jre-headless sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre

Of course that'll also remove all packages that depend on a JRE package. If you want to be able to use them, you'll need to create a dummy JRE package, with equivs.

So it's probably easier to just leave a packaged JRE installed.
