That's fine, but regardless libxml-commons-resolver1.1-java should not depend on a full JRE since it doesn't need one. It does, however, have executable components in it, so it will need to depend on something. I don't much care what that is as long as it includes a headless OpenJDK for amd64. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
