apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk doesn't install javac. Why?

The program 'javac' can be found in the following packages:

 * openjdk-6-jdk

 * ecj

 * gcj-4.4-jdk

 * gcj-4.6-jdk

 * gcj-4.5-jdk

 * openjdk-7-jdk

Then I run sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk and everything works. But then javac still does not exist and I get the same error as above. Same thing with openjdk-6-jdk. Why?

As long as the install completed without errors, there is a javac executable on your system; it for some reason just didn't get correctly linked to /usr/bin. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/bin/javac /usr/bin/javac will create that link and should fix your problem.
