Problems with apt-get (openjdk-7-jre-headless)

I am attempting to install the Arduino development environment under ubuntu on the 410c board. It should be easy, the instructions I was given say to do the following:

sudo apt-get install arduino-mk
sudo apt-get install arduino

Unfortunately when I try the apt-get gets to the step where it is trying to load openjdk-7-jre-headless, it has one of two problems. 1) it stops loading when it gets to 4945kB/38.6MB,(always the same place) or 2) it finished loading, but then apt-get complains the download is the wrong size and refuses to go any further.

I tried some obvious things (in no particular order):

sudo apt-get install --fix-missing arduino
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Curiously when I attempt the update I always get a duplicate packages error:

Any hints on what I need to do to get the Arduino package installed?

What release are you using?
I just installed 15.11 and the installation completed only by doing:


sudo apt-get install arduino-mk
sudo apt-get install arduino

Upgrading to Debian (15.11) is highly recommended.

I was on the 15.09 ubuntu release. I will try again with Debian.

Hi,

I were able to install followings successfully on Debian 15.11.

What I did before the above were:
download the Debian installer from here:
http://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/debian/15.11/dragonboard410c_sdcard_install_debian-36.zip

And write the Debian to emmc by following the instruction here:

After connecting the keyboard/mouse and USB-Ethernet to the DragonBoard,
I booted the DragonBoard with Debian in emmc and
the first thing I tired was:


# ntpdate ntp.jst.mfeed.ad.jp
# apt-get update

because many times the updating the date is critical for apt-get update and install or compile anything.

I hope it works for you.
