Public bug reported:
Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Mate)
Package version: freecol 0.11.6+dfsg-2
Expected behaviour:
- Run the command "freecol"
- Game launches
Actual behaviour:
Game crashes, displaying the following error message:
Unrecognized option: -Xincgc
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
This is triggered by the final line of /usr/games/freecol, which launches Java,
specifying the -Xincgc option (incremental garbage collector). Bionic's default
OpenJDK 11 runtime no longer supports this option so the game fails to load.
Removing the "-Xincgc" option from the command line is sufficient to get
the game working.
** Affects: freecol (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
