Ug. This is getting ugly really fast. I'm really not on home ground  
here at all.

After 15 minutes of trying to make sense of what I found at
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/s/sun-java6/, I downloaded
sun-java6-bin_6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04_i386.deb and

sun-java6-jre_6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04_all.deb, following the thread at 
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=125253&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 
<http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=125253&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0>.


Then I did this at a console, with the following result:


tomc@LDT:~/software_archive$ sudo dpkg --unpack 
sun-java6-bin_6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04_i386.deb
[sudo] password for tomc:

Most of this is just garble to me,


THIS is scary: "dpkg: warning: downgrading sun-java6-bin from 
6.26-1natty1 to 6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04."
I said UNPACK, not INSTALL. What's this "downgrading" nonsense? Then 
this: "Preparing to replace sun-java6-bin 6.26-1natty1" Huh? All this on 
an "unpack". This is beyond scary. This is nuts. What's up with this???


Then, and this is the main problem - where's the result of the command? 
I expected the unpack to put files in a dir, in the same dir as the DEB 
file. Isn't this usually what happens when one unpacks a file? But 
there's nothing there.


I'm in freefall right now. Don't know what just happened, don't know 
what to do next. Can anyone help?


Guess I'm not going to get any db work done tonight, after all. Not a 
good day.


Tom
