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?
