Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.
I stumbled across this issue after I had reported a similar one. (Bug 1406483 where I triggered it by installing maven and openjdk-8-jdk) I was able to reproduce this issue when installing openjdk-8-jre- headless on Ubuntu 14.10, though when I tried on Ubuntu Vivid it added the certificates and worked fine. Tough I don't see why it would as neither openjdk-8 nor the ca-certificates-java package has changed between these two releases. (Oh, and I also found bug 983302 where it looks like the same issue has plagued the headless package for openjdk-7) ** Changed in: ca-certificates-java (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1396760 Title: ca-certificates-java doesn't create /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ca-certificates-java/+bug/1396760/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
