    I tried to troubleshoot these problems myself to no avail

    in a previous note you suggest to run make-jpkg as root. However when I try
    it I get:

    root@0[root]# make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin
    You are real root -- unfortunately, some Java distributions have
    install scripts that directly manipulate /etc, and may cause some
    inconsistencies on your system. Instead, you should become a
    non-root user and run:

    fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin

    which will allow no damage to be done to your system files and
    still permit the Java distribution to successfully extract.

    Aborting.
