Severity: normal

Hey.

When installing the package (openjdk-11-jre-headless) one gets:
update-binfmts: warning: current package is openjdk-11, but binary format 
already installed by openjdk-8

and apparently the format is still "registered" for openjdk-8:
# update-binfmts --display
jar (enabled):
     package = openjdk-8
        type = magic
      offset = 0
       magic = PK\x03\x04
        mask = 
 interpreter = /usr/bin/jexec
    detector = 
...


I do not quite understand how this could have happened, cause
openjdk-8 has been purged and it seems its prerm actually
removes the entry... and binfmt-support was installed all the
time.


I think to remember that I've seen the same things long ago, but
back then I think the handling on removal was simply missing.


AFAIU, the above will never be resolved unless by manual intervention.
Not sure what the package should do about it, perhaps
it would be generally better to move this to some openjdk-common
package or so?


Cheers,
Chris.
