If you are running Edgy, I suggest upgrading your java version to JRE v5.0 Update 10 per: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy#How_to_install_JRE_v5.0_Update_10

And in that same guide, this is the procedure I followed to get a working version: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy#How_to_install_Internet_TV_.28DemocracyTV_beta.29

At this time, if you have upgraded to Feisty, with the latest updates to Python ver 2.5, Democracy is broken until the dependencies are fixed.

I just downloaded and tried to open and install ‘democracyplayer_0.9.2.1-1ubuntupcf_i386.deb’ for my Ubuntu (which is completely actualized), and I got the next:

Error: Conflicts with the installed package ‘j2re1.4′

Can you solve that? I am not going to uninstall the Java client…

I also tried the version 0.8.4.1-1 which comes in Synaptic, even if it made use of 10Mbs for installing the Mozilla-Browser. It didn’t work either. That is what I got (afterwards I deleted it):
