Public bug reported: Binary package hint: eclipse-platform
Looking at the dependencies of eclipse-platform=3.4.1-0ubuntu2 at http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/eclipse-platform, there are some irregularities. These are depends, not recommends/suggests; default-jre Standard Java or Java compatible Runtime or java1-runtime virtual package provided by gcj-4.4-jre, gcj-jre, jamvm, kaffe-jthreads, kaffe-pthreads or java2-runtime virtual package provided by default-jre, gcj-4.4-jre, gcj-jre, openjdk-6-jre, sun-java6-jre So far all is sane. Further down the list, however; openjdk-6-jre OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT Despite being satisfied by java2-runtime, openjdk-6-jre is listed as a direct dependency, meaning you can't install eclipse-platform without installing OpenJDK, even if you're already using Sun's Java. Sidenote: Firefox is also listed, but there's a separate report over at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/191586 for that. I didn't find any cover-all "eclipse has insane dependencies" bug, though. firefox (>= 1.4.99) meta package for the popular mozilla web browser also a virtual package provided by abrowser ** Affects: eclipse (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [karmic] eclipse-platform incorrectly depends on openjdk-6-jre, firefox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424322 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
