I have .deb package when I try to install it with Gdebi it return:
Error dependency is not satisfiable openjdk-7 jre
I have openjdk-8 jre installed but it still appeared
referring to How do I install openjdk 7 on Ubuntu 16.04 or higher? I have tried this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
but it can't install openjdk-7 jre
I have Ubuntu 17.04
What should I do?
You can still install this using the deb file. It just takes a second command.
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file
For example:
sudo dpkg -i /Downloads/openjdk-7-jdk_7u131-2.6.9-0ubuntu0.14.04.2_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
This will install any dependencies you need.
Openjdk 7 should now be installed. In order to have your system use Openjdk 7 as default, you will need to run the following command in the terminal:
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64
I hope this helps!
sudo dpkg -i retutns an error maybe because one of the dependencies is unavailable thanks
