[K12OSN] get java

[Will Hatch]

I have not used the synaptic package manager before.  I have several broken packages.  How do I use it?  I lost the applets on my gnome taskbar and I noticed that they are listed here.  Maybe this utility will fix them!  Help!!!

When I double-click on get java or get flash I get a terminal window that loads lots of text, which ultimately ends with an error message.  Is there a secret to this? I like to use certain webpages that have java and I can't under current conditions.  Thanks!
