Unmet dependencies if you have installed the latest oracle jre
Closed this issue · 3 comments

Hi
first of all, thanks for the great work you have done!
* What steps will reproduce the problem?
If you have installed the latest _oracle_ java packages on your system,
installing jayatana results in unmet dependencies. This is because the oracle
java package states to the apt system it provides "java7-runtime" and
"java6-runtime" but jayatana states to apt that it depends on
"default-jre|openjdk-7-jre|openjdk-6-jre".
* What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Jayatana works fine on my system with only the oracle jre installed, but apt
says, that I have unmet dependencies and wants to install a additional jre
(Iced-Tea jre for example). I don't want that.
* What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 13.10
* Please provide any additional information below.
Please repack your deb packages and alter the dependencies string to:
"default-jre|openjdk-7-jre|openjdk-6-jre|java7-runtime|java6-runtime"
Regards
Christoph

The java 7-runtime and java 6-runtime aren't on official Ubuntu repositories,
what is the repository of packages?

It's true. I am using the oab-java script, that allows me to install a new java
version immediately after it was released by oracle:
https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6
It simply downloads the install binaries from the oracle homepage and creates a
deb package out of it. I have no clue where it takes the "provides" attribute
from (I couldn't find it in the script itself).

an apology, but the reason that "ubuntu" remove java from repositories is for
new Java Oracle licence. "Oracle" doesn't let redistribute to Java for third
party.
I'm not sure that the oab-java script is 100% legal
