Installing java on a virtual private server (debian)

If you want to use java on a virtual private server, you will quickly learn that it will not install without complications. To make it install, do this:
apt-get install sun-java5-jdk # the first time, this will fail
nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/sun-java5-bin.postinst
Comment out this line:
$basedir/bin/java -client -Xshare:dump > /dev/null
apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
It will now install without fail. Enjoy. :-)
