Hey guys,

A few months ago I remember trying to install some program and it required Java, but it gave me a broken package issue. Someone else here in the forum also mentioned the same issue.

Now I want to install I2P which also requires Java. Is it usable now in Trisquel 8? Any workarounds?

Thanks!

I succesfully installed I2P on Trisquel 8 a few months ago. I don't remember exactly what I did, but I started from this page

https://geti2p.net/en/download

and didn't run into any particular problems.

I think the package 'openjdk-8-jre' might be what you need. It's definitely installable.

Thanks for the reply.
When I try to "sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre" it fails to get the needed packages. It says that failed to get the packages. I am using "http://mirrors.serverhost.ro/trisquel/packages"
I can install most stuff fine from repos. But not this.

This mirror is down. Use a different one. See: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/weird-output-when-trying-update
