This is not a question and instead I just want to share a workaround on how to install astah-community on Ubuntu.

The downloadable .deb file (obtained at http://members.change-vision.com/files/astah_community/6_4_1/astah-community_6.4-1_all.deb) always gets stuck and wouldn't seem to complete installation in my environment.
Tried OS) Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 11.04 in different networks.

I ended up purging corrupted installation following the discussion here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/cannot-install-and-remove-package-847795/

My workaround was to use commandline method as shown here: http://astah.net/faq/uml/how-to-run-astah-on-linux#apt

Hope it helps some of you.

Thank you for your detailed info with its solution.

We have a page to show how to run Astah on Linux. Please take a look at this page too.

Also one of our users in Brazil has created a tutorial for "How to install the astah on
Ubuntu+OpenJDK without those sun-java6-* packages". (In Portuguese) on his website, Helder's Corner.

It is so helpful and grateful to see how users are publishing information about Astah for other users. Thank you very much.

Cheers,

do not follow the official website absolutely.
according to my experience,you may:

1,download and install java environment follow the process of redhat linux.
here is the link to oracle java:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u27-download-440405.html

2,configuration java environment follow the process of debian linux.

3,install astah-community using zip file.

so it won't appear the problems about java version,authentication,dependency and so on.
good luck!

You're partly right onway2, when I installed astah community on the new computer, I still needed a little twist especially with Java.

Basically the description on official site works.

However, if your computer doesn't have Sun Java yet, you need to install it by following (for Debian/Ubuntu):

Environment checked) Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04Quote:
