Since I opened this libaether-java is now in Ubuntu, the same version as Debian, so that issue is resolved.
Here's what I did to see about dependencies, I took a fresh VM install, apt-get install libaether-java and then dpkg -i maven from Debian. Then used a hacked version of requestsync to compare Ubuntu's and Debian's package versions. --- Upstream source is newer in Debian ca-certificates-java - 20111223 compared to 20110912ubuntu4 java-common - 0.46 compared to 0.43ubuntu2 libhttpcore-java - 4.1.4-1 compared to 4.1-1 My guess is that libhttpcore-java is the only really important one. --- Upstream source is the same but Debian packaging is newer antlr - 2.7.7+dfsg-4 compared to 2.7.7+dfsg-3 aspectj - 1.6.12+dfsg-3 compared to 1.6.12+dfsg-2 fop - 1:1.0.dfsg2-6 compared to 1:1.0.dfsg2-4 libaopalliance-java - 20070526-5 compared to 20070526-4 libbsf-java - 1:2.4.0-5 compared to 1:2.4.0-4ubuntu1 libcommons-jexl-java - 1.1-3 compared to 1.1-2 libcommons-logging-java - 1.1.1-9 compared to 1.1.1-8 libcommons-validator-java - 1:1.3.1-8 compared to 1:1.3.1-7 jaxme - 0.5.2+dfsg-6 compared to 0.5.2+dfsg-5 apache-log4j1.2 - 1.2.16-3 compared to 1.2.16-2ubuntu2 libsaxon-java - 1:6.5.5-8 compared to 1:6.5.5-7ubuntu1 sisu-ioc - 2.3.0-2 compared to 2.3.0-1 werken.xpath - 0.9.4-14 compared to 0.9.4-13 xmlgraphics-commons - 1.4.dfsg-4 compared to 1.4.dfsg-3ubuntu1 libexcalibur-logkit-java - 2.0-9 compared to 2.0-8ubuntu1 wagon - 1.0.0-2 compared to 1.0.0-1ubuntu1 --- Completely different versions: batik - 1.7-8 compared to 1.7.ubuntu-6ubuntu1 --- C packages that probably don't matter: libxcb1-dev - 1.8-1 compared to 1.7-4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/920284 Title: Sync maven 3.0.4-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/920284/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
