Apt-get :: Isntalling jEdit with dpkg...



Ok. I have installed jre DSL package. But when I try to install jEdit (IMO the best editor out there) this happens:
Quote
bash-2.05b# dpkg -i /tmp/jedit_4.3pre6_all.deb                                          
(Reading database ...
dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `jedit' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
11323 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace jedit 4:04.03.06.00 (using /tmp/jedit_4.3pre6_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement jedit ...

dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
/tmp/jedit_4.3pre6_all.deb
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)


Any ideas what to do? :O
(I did that as root.)
Argh! I mispelled topic again. :p
Hi

I've downloaded the jEdit Java Installer (jar file) and it works great.

Code Sample
java -jar jedit4.3pre7install.jar


Ofcourse you have to install and configure Java, prior to doing this.

Just in case you want to use the .deb still...
