I tried to remove jdk-6 using:

sudo apt-get remove openjdk-6-jdk

I got result as:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package 'openjdk-6-jdk' is not installed, so not removed
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  libc6-i386
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

I want to uninstall openjdk-6-jdk, but should not remove openjdk-7-jdk, expecting solution.

apt-cache performs a variety of operations on APT's package cache, it won't list the installed packages.

To see if an openjdk package is actually installed on your system you can just type in a terminal:

dpkg -l | grep openjdk

  • It only means that openjdk was not installed on your system, so there's nothing to remove. Could you please accept and up-vote (^) my answer? Thanks. – Sylvain Pineau Apr 07 '14 at 06:13
