Ok, better example: apt-get build-dep <any-java-package> would likely bring in java-compiler och java2-compiler, which would not be satisfied by an already installed openjdk-6-jdk.
The reason I mentioned default-jdk-builddep is because the jython package depends on it. The name led me to believe that it was a meta- package for java compilation, since default-jdk on lucid i386 is openjdk-6-jdk. -- Inconsistent 'Provides' for different java compilers/runtimes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu.

Irrespective of whether my understanding is correct or not there has to be a consistency. Specifically icedtea-java7-jdk is out of sync with other compilers like Sun, GCJ. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
