Package: jython Version: 2.5.3-14 Severity: serious There is no classpath for the dependencies of jython.jar defined in its manifest:
$ unzip -p /usr/share/java/jython.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF | \ grep Class-Path $ This leads to the problem that dependent packages need to specify the classpath themself, which is difficult since it is not documented in /usr/share/docs/jython. Also, it requires tracking internal changes of jython, since some of the dependent jar names are version dependent; namely antlr3-runtime-3.2.jar, which makes it difficult to handle for the dependencies over long time (f.e. for backports). Java policy requires to have the classpath documented. I would ask you to do this in the manifest (at least for the strong dependencies), since this makes the usage much easier.
