Package: openjdk-6-jre-lib Version: 6b23~pre9-1 Severity: normal In my current installation (using pre9-1 of this package but pre8-1 of everything else), Java programs using printf are broken. For example:
$ cat test.java public class test { public static void main(String [] args) { System.out.printf("%s, world!\n", "Hello"); } } $ javac test.java $ java test Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError at java.util.Currency$1.run(Currency.java:209) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.util.Currency.<clinit>(Currency.java:177) at java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols.initialize(DecimalFormatSymbols.java:559) at java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols.<init>(DecimalFormatSymbols.java:94) at java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols.getInstance(DecimalFormatSymbols.java:157) at java.util.Formatter.setZero(Formatter.java:2212) at java.util.Formatter.init(Formatter.java:1838) at java.util.Formatter.<init>(Formatter.java:1868) at java.io.PrintStream.format(PrintStream.java:936) at java.io.PrintStream.printf(PrintStream.java:838) at test.main(test.java:3) Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/currency.data (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:137) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:96) at java.util.Currency$1.run(Currency.java:183) ... 11 more $ If I downgrade this package to 6b23~pre8-1, the problem vanishes: $ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-6-jre-lib_6b23~pre8-2_all.deb dpkg: warning: downgrading openjdk-6-jre-lib from 6b23~pre9-1 to 6b23~pre8-2.

It looks to me like this package should not be upgraded without the rest of the Java system, yet apt and dpkg are happy to do so (and, indeed, did). Perhaps this package needs to declare a Breaks relationship with some older packages?
