Package: gcj-3.3 Version: 1:3.3.4-6sarge1 Severity: normal
At the moment libgcj4-dev (>= 1:3.3.4-6sarge1) appears in recommands only. Unless I missed something, that makes gcj mostly unusable when the dependendy is not fullfilled. For instance, I recently upgraded gcj-3.3 from testing. Since libgcj4-dev is not a depends, and pulled new packages (libgcj4-common), it was not upgraded. Then gcj would fail with: gnu/mapping/Procedure.java:0: error: cannot find file for class java.lang.Object gnu/mapping/Procedure.java:0: error: cannot find file for class java.lang.Object gnu/mapping/Procedure.class:0: error: cannot find file for class java.lang.Object because gcj-3.3 has its classpath set to /usr/share/java/libgcj-3.3.4.jar, which is included in libgcj4-common.
