Package: openjdk-7-jre Version: 7~u3-2.1.1-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The version number "7~..." comes before version 7 according to the Debian rules. e.g. dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of test-java: test-java depends on openjdk-7-jre (>= 7); however: Version of openjdk-7-jre:amd64 on system is 7~u3-2.1.1-3. Since Java 7 was released last year, I'm assuming this is a mistake. This is a problem for 0install (the zeroinstall-injector Debian package), since a package that specifies a Java dependency with e.g. <runner interface="http://repo.roscidus.com/java/openjdk-jre";> <version not-before='7'/> </runner> will fail to accept the Debian package as a valid candidate. The current version of 0install in the archive stops parsing the version at ~, and so reports all versions as "7" (which works, but isn't very good). The Git version interprets ~ (correctly, I think) as a pre-release marker and so fails to work with the Debian package. If you think this isn't a bug, let me know and I'll add a suitable workaround to 0install upstream (e.g. replacing "~u" with "." for the Java packages). I may do this anyway to support older systems, but it would be good to know what your plans are for future versions. (OpenSUSE versions look like e.g. 1.6.0.0_b24.1.11.3-6.2 and Fedora ones are like 1.7.0.5, so a bit of massaging will always be needed) Thanks, -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openjdk-7-jre depends on: ii libasound2 1.0.25-4 ii libatk-wrapper-java-jni 0.30.4-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-35 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-2 ii libcups2 1.5.3-2 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-7 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libgif4 4.1.6-9.1 ii libgl1-mesa-glx 8.0.4-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.3-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-1 ii libjpeg8 8d-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-2 ii libpulse0 2.0-4 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.1-2 ii libxi6 2:1.6.1-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.2-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.2-2 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.7-1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.1-1 ii openjdk-7-jre-headless 7~u3-2.1.1-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 Versions of packages openjdk-7-jre recommends: ii libgconf2-4 3.2.5-1 ii libgnome2-0 2.32.1-2 ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.24.4-1 ii ttf-dejavu-extra 2.33-2 Versions of packages openjdk-7-jre suggests: pn icedtea-7-plugin <none> -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
