We're also finding that we cannot install Java 8 on Trusty anymore. One other thing I noted is that the openjdk-8 package seems to have a 'Breaks: ' directive for older versions of ca-certificates-java, including this version.
This is a really serious issue for us, and this is not the first time Java support on Ubuntu LTS has broken in really bad ways that makes me wonder what sort of testing and validation these packages go through :/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to ca-certificates-java in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1706442 Title: please add support for openjdk-8 Status in ca-certificates-java package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Please add support for OpenJDK 8.
