Package: imagej
Version: 1.43g-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
When java-gcj-compat is the only java version installed on the system the
application will not run. It fails with message /usr/bin/imagej: line 420:
//bin/java: No such file or directory. This is because of the JAVA_HOME hack
introduced inversion 1.43b-1.
When the correct path is specified it still will not run. It crashes with error:
(lucid32)ma...@laptop:~/dev/submitted/imagej$ imagej
Open other images in this ImageJ panel as follows:
imagej -p 1 <image1> [<image2> ... <imageN>]
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

at ij.ImageJ.main(ImageJ.java:554)
These errors can be corrected by depending on openjdk-6-jre and reverting the
JAVA_HOME hack to what it used to be. I have attached a patch to correct these
problems.
