sun java 6 not installing on mint 10

Post by trashisfree »

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
I get this lovely screen below but no way to get it to finish installing, clicking <ok>, or the bar below <ok> does not work. Without agreeing to the license which I cannot get it to do, it never installs.
I have to have sun java 6 for zoneminder. Kicking myself for installing mint 10. Why they had to break sun java for mint 10, I cannot comprehend. Hope I don't have to go back to 9.

Or search/find the file in Synaptic, mark for installation, click apply, then when the GUI of this popup arrives, click OK and enjoy. It's not broken at all, just a required step.
