2) is the only option which is *not* reasonable, breaking update-java- alternatives(8) and leaving dangling symlinks. If you want to work on 3), you have to update the update-java-alternatives(8) program as well, and change this in all of gcj-4.3, gcj-4.4, openjdk-6, sun-java5 and sun-java6.
-- 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
