Package: icedtea-netx
Version: 1.6.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

apt-get dist-upgrade

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

After a dist-upgrade, icedtea-netx would never configure and thus was left
unconigured, which renders it useless.

A following dpkg -i on the package confirms the situation (see below).

   * What was the outcome of this action?

$ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/icedtea-netx_1.6.2-1_amd64.deb

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Package should install and dist-upgrade should work properly.
