Title: 16.04 incorrectly installs openjdk-9 to satisfy java8-runtime dependency Status in openjdk-9 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, A user recently reported an issue on our bug tracker stating that our package was pulling in openjdk-9 and subsequently crashed when started. This apparently because openjdk-9 is the default choice for java8-runtime, which is quite surprising. Now it is technically correct that java9 does provide a java8-runtime, but java9 isn't even released yet and should definitely not be the default java8-runtime until that time.
