tried installing gtk-gnutella_0.96.5-1build1_i386.deb java packages did not download

would like to change that to frostwire sorry!

I'm not a developer, but it's not immediately clear to me what error you're reporting. Did you try to apt-get install gtk-gnutella and not receive the packages? If so, reporting against apt-get and/or posting a dpkg log would probably be helpful if you continue to experience issues.

Also, as a user of gtk-gnutella myself, I would recommend using the latest version, e.g. https://launchpad.net/~andresjriofrio/+archive/gnutella

Thanks Dave, am just a user myself. Made a mistake on that score
downloaded both gtk-gnutella and Frostwire tried both installed
Frostwire finally, and now finally recognized the problem. Leaving the
download of the java packages unattended. The agreement needed
confirmation. Canceling or un installing in the morning did not work.
Finally had to install sun java, looks like a bit of arm twisting to me.
Not using the package for now, may dump everything soon. Too scared to
do anything for now.

I changed the status to invalid. gtk-gnutella is not a Java app.
