Hello.

I am having problems getting my Mozilla's SeaMonkey v2.0.4 (from
mozilla.org) and Debian's IceWeasel v3.5.8 (aka Firefox) to use my Sun
JRE v1.6.0u20 (and earlier builds from Sun.com). I also tried Debian's
apt-get install with b16 (yeah, a bit old). My Java plugin used to work,
but I think the newer OpenOffice version and its requirements of Java
broke it when I apt-get upgraded a few weeks ago.

I get errors like this on http://javatester.org:

I tried to uninstall all the unneccesary Java packages, but still had
some can't be removed because of other programs requiring it like
OpenOffice:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
