Package: openjdk-6-jre-headless
Version: 6b11-6
Severity: normal

The cacerts file in the jre/lib/security directory is necessary for
correct operation of SSL socket connections. This file exists in
java-gcj-compat-headless, but in openjdk-6-jre-headless it is a
symlink:

~$ dlocate cacerts
openswan: /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts
sun-java6-bin: /etc/java-6-sun/security/cacerts
libssl-dev: /usr/share/doc/libssl-dev/demos/easy_tls/cacerts.pem

openjdk-6-jre-headless: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/security/cacerts

~$ ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.3-1.5.0.0/jre/lib/security/cacerts
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92378 11 jul 20.55 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.3-1.5.0.0/jre/lib/security/cacerts

~$ ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/security/cacerts

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/security/cacerts -> 
/etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts

But /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts is only present if the
ca-certificates-java package is installed. Without it, secure network 
connections fail with an obscure exception:

Installing ca-certificates-java fixes this, but that package is only
recommended by openjdk-6-jre-headless.

I think this is a bug and the JRE should be fixed to work without a
cacerts file.

If not, then a working cacerts file should be provided by this
package, or it might depend on ca-certificates-java.
