Thanks!

daniel at Agape:~$ sudo dpkg -S /usr/bin/java
dpkg: /usr/bin/java not found.


This means that my java was not provided by any package?

How can I find out what files are provided by the package java-common? 
There's something strange going on here. I think I might have two or 
more Javas installed.

Cheers,
Daniel.
