javac

[Santiago Vila]

Hello.

Is there any particular reason why gcj does not set up a symlink
javac -> gcj using the alternatives mechanism, as jikes used to do before
Bug #43730 was reported?

( The new gettext-0.11 checks for a java compiler named "javac" but it
  does not find "gcj". I'm not sure who exactly to blame for this :-)

Thanks.

Bug#131985: gcj-3.0 file overlap with libgcj2-dev

[Adam Heath]

PackagE: gcj-3.0
Version: 2:3.0.2-10
Severity: serious

Unpacking replacement gcj-3.0 ...
dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/gcj-3.0_1%3a3.0.4-0pre020127_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/jv-convert-3.0.1.gz', which is also 
in package libgcj2-dev
yakko:/usr/doc/iproute/examples# dpkg -S jv-convert
libgcj2-dev: /usr/bin/jv-convert-3.0

The binary resides in the -dev package, so the manpage should as well.  Please
remove the manpage from gcj-3.0.
