Public bug reported:

floodlight 0.90+dfsg-0ubuntu4 currently fails to build on Zesty with
lots of error message related to org.jboss.netty.* classes. See below
for a sample or https://launchpadlibrarian.net/298783247
/buildlog_ubuntu-zesty-amd64.floodlight_0.90+dfsg-
0ubuntu4_BUILDING.txt.gz for a complete build log.

It looks like the netty package has been updated to a new major version
(4.x) since floodlight was intially packaged, and this might be the
underlying cause for these errors. I see from
https://github.com/floodlight/floodlight/releases that there has been
several new releases of floodlight, including
https://floodlight.atlassian.net/wiki/display/floodlightcontroller/Floodlight+v1.2
which mentions updated to netty 4. Maybe packaging a newer release would
fix the issues?
