Hello,

In version 2.19.0-1 of liblog4j2-java, the file
        
/usr/share/maven-repo/org/apache/logging/log4j/log4j/debian/log4j-debian.pom
declares the junit-bom artifact as a dependency. It is shipped in junit5.

If this dependency is not added, reverse dependencies of liglog4j2-java fail
to build (see logs above) as the junit-bom artifact is not found.

Hi Pierre,

I'm wondering if it wouldn't better to remove junit-bom from log4j pom.
I don't believe we actually need junit5 at runtime for log4j2, so
packages depending on liblog4j2-java should not have to install junit5.

Any concerns with taking that approach and addressing the bug by
adjusting the pom shipped with liblog4j2-java?

Thanks for having a look; I haven't looked further but I also fail to imagine why junit5 would be needed, so I agree with the proposed fix!

Thanks,
tony

Cheers,
