Public bug reported:
In the geogebra packages included in Natty and older versions of Ubuntu,
icedtea-plugin is listed as a recommended package (see
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/geogebra ). In Oneiric, it is now a dependency
(see http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/geogebra ).
This is a problem as the icedtea-plugin is known to be unable to run many
applets created with GeoGebra, for example all those on this page:
http://dmentrard.free.fr/GEOGEBRA/Sciences/accueilscie.htm (click for example
on the first one called "Ondes sismiques"). For this reason, it was a common
practice to replace the icedtea-plugin by Sun Java.
Now this is no more possible, as uninstalling icedtea-plugin also uninstalls
geogebra itself!
I would expect the geogebra package in Oneiric not to include icedtea-plugin as
a dependency.
