am having a problem installing it as my pc does not have internet
connection i have downloaded  the required files but cannot satisfy the
dependencies ,

error : 
ant depends on openjdk6-jre-headless , but to install openjdk6-jre-headless ant should be installed so 
how do i install openjdk6 on my pc .

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Triaged

Bug description:
Binary package hint: openjdk-6-jdk

OpenJDK depends on:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3), libx11-6, openjdk-6-jre (>= 6b11-2ubuntu2), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1)

But it could and should depend on openjdk-6-jre OR openjdk-6-jre-headless. I don't need any of the bloated X references on a headless installation.
I would like to see this fixed.
