For oneiric and later: A needed fix in ca-certificates-java is to change the dependency line from: openjdk-6-jre-headless (>= 6b16-1.6.1-2) | java6-runtime-headless, to: default-jre-headless | java6-runtime-headless
It "works" right now, but this is a correction to the current case as seen on oneiric, which really should not mention openjdk directly. The distributed version of openjdk-6 in oneiric base is 6b23~pre10, which definitely supersedes 6b16 above. (opeiric-updates has 6b23~pre11.) However, if there are concerns about pre-release binaries causing problems here, default-java packages could depend on >= 6b22 explicitly to ensure that any such packages are upgraded. === The proper fix for java-access-bridge is to change the dependency in libaccess-bridge-java from: default-jre | openjdk-6-jre | sun-java6-jre to: default-jre | java6-runtime === I can produce a patch for this, but is anyone paying attention and willing to apply it? (hrm, thinking about PPA'ing) I believe that the libaccess-bridge-java change could be filed upstream, but I'm not sure about ca-certificates-java off the top of my head. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881218 Title: openjdk-7-jre depends on openjdk-6-jre To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ca-certificates-java/+bug/881218/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
