Package: openjdk-6-jre-lib
Version: 6b23~pre9-1
Severity: normal
In my current installation (using pre9-1 of this package but pre8-1 of
everything else), Java programs using printf are broken. For example:
$ cat test.java
public class test {
public static void main(String [] args) {
System.out.printf("%s, world!\n", "Hello");
}
}
$ javac test.java
$ java test

If I downgrade this package to 6b23~pre8-1, the problem vanishes:
$ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-6-jre-lib_6b23~pre8-2_all.deb
dpkg: warning: downgrading openjdk-6-jre-lib from 6b23~pre9-1 to 6b23~pre8-2.

I suspect if I upgraded the rest of my Java installation, it would cure the
problem as well, but I am unwilling to do so as it would require me to
uninstall the Java plugin (a temporary circumstance, I hope).
It looks to me like this package should not be upgraded without the rest of the
Java system, yet apt and dpkg are happy to do so (and, indeed, did). Perhaps
this package needs to declare a Breaks relationship with some older packages?
My package versions (after that downgrade):
