I think Nicolas' option 2) is very reasonable. The java compiler is not just necessary for JSP compilation but for a whole range of normal server side Java deployment scenarios which depend on ant and javac.
Is there any good temporary workaround? The best I could find was sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends -d install openjdk-6-jdk sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=openjdk-6-jre /var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-6-jdk_6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu7_i386.deb Best regards, Anders -- openjdk-6-jdk should depend on openjdk-6-jre-headless too https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu. Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: openjdk-6-jdk OpenJDK depends on: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3), libx11-6, openjdk-6-jre (>= 6b11-2ubuntu2), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1) But it could and should depend on openjdk-6-jre OR openjdk-6-jre-headless. I don't need any of the bloated X references on a headless installation. I would like to see this fixed. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
