Hi Steven, I don't understand how changing the B-D will have the desired effect given that libclosure-compiler-java is an arch:all package. Although it would be nice to be able control this at build-time based on openjdk, the issue is a runtime problem. Given that the gcj-jre-headless package provides java5-runtime-headless, we can add java6-runtime-headless to the binary package depends, which would make the package closure-compiler uninstallable on those architectures (until a JRE providing java6 exists). This isn't entirely clean, but I don't anticipate there being gcj packages that support Java 6 anytime soon. Cheers, tony
