A broken update was pushed to openjdk-r which is currently breaking all (or at least a fair number of) Trusty Java 8 installs.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ca-certificates- java/+bug/1706442 The bug was closed as invalid, "not eligible for LTS" which yet again highlights the lack of a proper Java 8 in Trusty. It is super unhelpful for the Long Term Support release to 1) allow its version of Java to hit EOL with no upgrade path 2) "oh, it's fine, just install it from the openjdk-r repo!" 3) ...and then refuse to support even the most basic functionality (i.e. "it installs" What's even the point of the LTS designation if it doesn't support running the only supported version of one of the most popular languages on the planet? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to trusty-backports.
