If I compare a pure installation via apt-get install ca-certificates- java in Xenial (no upgrade involve) I see a behaviour change between the package currently in the archive and the one I have fix in a PPA.
-------------------------------- # Current ca-certificates-java (from archive) # It is installaing "openjdk-9-jre-headless" sudo apt-get install ca-certificates-java Reading package lists...

I consider that using the package found in main (openjdk-8) is IMHO a better approach than using the universe (openjdk-9), but while this may affect current ca-certificates-java user. I wonder if we should put the xenial package to depen on openjdk-9. I'll look with foundation team. - Eric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723198 Title: [SRU] upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 fails with: ca-certificates 20170717~16.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: triggers looping, abandoned To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ca-certificates-java/+bug/1723198/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
