Bug#517338: openjdk-6-jre: /usr/lib/jni not in library path

[brian m. carlson]

Package: openjdk-6-jre-headless
Version: 6b14-1~exp1
Severity: serious

According to Debian Java Policy[0], /usr/lib/jni *must* be in the
default library path, but it isn't:

  lakeview ok % java -cp /usr/share/java/unix.jar cx.ath.matthew.unix.testserver
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no unix-java in 
java.library.path
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1698)
        at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:840)
        at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:1047)
        at 
cx.ath.matthew.unix.UnixServerSocket.<clinit>(UnixServerSocket.java:29)
        at cx.ath.matthew.unix.testserver.main(testserver.java:33)


The testcase in question is from libunixsocket-java; running with
-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni makes it work.

There is a corresponding bug on sun-java5-jre.
