Source: java-common Version: 0.49 Severity: serious Justification: the java policy diff'd below is a "must", so a serious bug on lintian
While looking at #681763, I found a conflict between policy and lintian: java-common 0.35 removed a "must", that libraries must depend on the jre. lintian 2.4.4 added a warning that libraries should not do that. java-common 0.49 re-adds a "must" directive to do it. lintian (2.4.4): +Tag: needless-dependency-on-jre +Severity: normal +Certainty: possible +Info: The package appear to be a Java library and depending on one + or more JRE/JDK packages. As of 05 Apr 2010, the Java Policy no + longer mandates that Java libraries depend on Java Runtimes. + . + If there is a valid reason for this dependency, please override + the tag. +Ref: http://packages.qa.debian.org/j/java-common/news/20100405T221415Z.html, + http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=227587 java-common (0.49): + Libraries &must; depend on the needed runtime environment (&d-jre; and/or &d-jre-h; if need a GUI or not).
