Mostyn Bramley-Moore commented on JENKINS-51253   Re: jenkins_2.107.3_all.deb depends on java being installed but no longer has this explicit dependency Debian/ubuntu openjdk-*-jre-headless packages specify all previous versions in the Provides field: $ apt-cache show openjdk-9-jre-headless | grep Provides Provides: java-runtime-headless, java2-runtime-headless, java5-runtime-headless, java6-runtime-headless, java7-runtime-headless, java8-runtime-headless, java9-runtime-headless So, what if we were to create a package with the following constraints: 1) depends on java8-runtime-headless 2) conflicts with java9-runtime-headless I guess this would technically be too strict- it would not be possible to have both openjdk-8-jre-headless and openjdk-9-jre-headless installed, even if jenkins was configured to use v8 at runtime.
