Bug Description

I'm experiencing java-problems with my firefox: the java-based functions in firefox aren't working properly anymore for an unknown reason to me. I already tried reinstalling every firefox-package I could find in the Synaptic Package Manager. I figured I'd have to reinstall java, so I installed sun-java6-jre (after noticing that there wasn't a current version of java installed).

I'm using:
Ubuntu 8.10
sun-java6-jre:
  Installed: 6-10-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 6-10-0ubuntu2
sun-java6-bin:
  Installed: 6-10-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 6-10-0ubuntu2
firefox:
  Installed: 3.0.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1
  Candidate: 3.0.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1
sun-java6-bin:
  Installed: 6-10-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 6-10-0ubuntu2

I hoped that firefox would work properly now, bu after installing the sun-java6-jre and bin, I got errors, telling me that the packages failed to install, neither did firefox start working properly again. Halp?

Greetings,
Martin :)
(P.S.: I'm sort of a linux-noob)

unduplicated until it is settled if it is a duplicate of bug 303609
only considering the error message it'd say it is, but that can be discussed here
