I agree this is wrong. ant should not depend on a JDK since it can be used for much more than compilation. Packages that just build-depend on ant (and expect to get a JDK) should be fixed.
I would even go further. Some software (including Eucalyptus) use ant at runtime, but not for compilation. Recommending default-jdk for ant makes Eucalyptus install a JDK (and pulls the JDK on the CD). So I'd invalidate this bug... and solve bug 389470 instead (Make default-jdk a Suggests: rather than a Recommends: for ant). -- Please move default-jdk to 'Depends' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
