Dependency on java2-runtime removed

Yes! for instance eclipse depends by this package and it cannot be installed without java-gcj-compat... this is not right!

I agree with this. I want to use eclipse, and since it only really works with sun java anyways, I shouldn't have to install another version of java just to be able to never use it. Someone please change that dep back or something. I tried editing the package to have that dep again, and it seems to have worked correctly - stuffs installing at least.

Me too - I want to install Eclipse but I do not want GNU Java on my system. Please make sure that the dependencies are right, Eclipse nor Apache Commons DBCP nor Tomcat needs GNU Java.

Me too. Very annoying - keeping gcj just for this broken package's sake

As 1.2.1-5 got synced today this bug is fixed. It depends on "java-gcj-compat | java1-runtime | java2-runtime" again.

Version: 1.2.1-5ubuntu1
Depends: java-gcj-compat | kaffe (>= 2:1.1.5-3), libcommons-pool-java, libcommons-collections-java

Indeed, it seems to have gone back to the old dependency set.

I attached a debdiff for this fix.

Uploaded. Thank you.

Mark as "Fix Released"

Trying to install tomcat5.5, I've noticed that java2-runtime is not installed, i mean that after doing

# apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre

java2-runtime should be provided and, I guess, installed on my system.
I'm not sure if this is a bug of sun-java6-jre or a problem on my system.

I've also installed on my system this package becouse I didn't find the update version with the problem fixed.
Package: libcommons-dbcp-java
......
Version: 1.2.1-3ubuntu1
Depends: java-gcj-compat | kaffe (>= 1:1.1.3) | java2-runtime, libcommons-pool-java, libcommons-collections-java

The fix was finally synced in version 1.2.1-5. Its included in gutsy. Are you running dapper or edgy?

I am running 7.04 - and see no fix :(

the same,
apt-cache policy says:
Installato (installed, it has right dependencies): 1.2.1-3ubuntu1
Candidato (candidate): 1.2.1-4ubuntu1

Anyway, after some other research, I found that the problem of tomcat5.5 dependencies is not strictly correlated with this one, but on the ecj-bootstrap package which depends on others that needs ecj.
The problem is already on charge in other bug repert, so for me this problem is solved.

Sergey if you need install
Package: libcommons-dbcp-java
Version: 1.2.1-3ubuntu1

it has the right dependencies.

Bye and thanks for help and for working to help linux users
