Dear Ubuntu maintainers, I am the freeplane package maintainer for Debian. As you can see in this bug report, freeplane in Ubuntu 16.10 is broken due to a broken knopflerfish-osgi 5.2.0-1 update (synced too early [1]), and the (proposed) fix is to sync knopflerfish-osgi 5.2.0-2 (as 5.2.0-1.1) from Debian testing/unstable to Ubuntu 16.10.
ubuntu-motu suggested to create a SRU for this, which I am requesting now. [Impact] Freeplane fails to load OSGi bundles because the knopflerfish jar misses an "exports" file. The other r-dep of knopferfish-osgi (libwoodstob-java) is a library that should fail as well (the "exports" file is needed and was present before the broken upload in 5.1.0+dfsg1-3's knopflerfish.jar!). The fix in knopflerfish 5.2.0-2 is to generate a file "exports" during the build. [Test Case] - Install freeplane: $ sudo apt-get install freeplane - run freeplane: $ freeplane --> it will fail to start (for the exact exception log, see above) Ubuntu 16.10 users affected by the bug have confirmed that freeplane starts with the fix (see above). [Regression Potential] There could _possibly_ be another issue in Ubuntu's knopflerfish-osgi 5.2.0-2, and in this case, r-deps of knopflerfish-osgi would still not work. But since they currently do not work, there is nothing to lose. Attached is a debdiff between knopflerfish-osgi 5.2.0-1 and 5.2.0-2 (Debian). As suggested by #ubuntu-motu, I changed the changelog entry to 5.2.0-1.1, for Ubuntu 16.10. Please tell me if I'm missing anything. Freeplane has quite a few users, and I would like to make this package functional in Ubuntu 16.10. [1] Can we do something about this?
