Now I have tried again on the *sarge* box:

That's not really a good idea. Either try to find backports of Java to
sarge, or use java-package to build your own version. It's not really
that hard.



good advice!

I had tried java-package already, but did not succeed.
Now I have found a backport and the problem is solved :-)

Thanks a lot to everybody who helped,
