--- Begin Message ---Source: openjdk-6 Version: 6b27-1.12.5-1 Severity: serious Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past) When building openjdk-6 on many architectures, the documentation package ends up empty with no error indicating you shouldn't have tried. It seems the problem is that debian/rules contians: # assume we don't build binary indep packages on these architectures ifeq ($(with_docs),yes) ifeq (,$(filter $(DEB_HOST_ARCH), amd64 i386 lpia)) CONFIGURE_ARGS += --disable-docs endif else CONFIGURE_ARGS += --disable-docs endif This means you you do dpkg-buildpackage -b on say a powerpc, you end up with all the .deb files generated, but openjdk-6-doc doesn't actually contain anything useful and hence causes other things to fail to build. There has got to be a better way to disable building docs when only binary-arch is being built, and to let everyone actually be able to generate the all packages if they want to. I know Debian's buildd's don't generate the all packages, but I don't think that excuses a package that builds incorrectly just because it isn't on x86/amd64 (or whatever lpia is. That one is new to me). I think it should be changed to: ifneq ($(with_docs),yes) CONFIGURE_ARGS += --disable-docs endif It is not the package's job to second guess the user, so the assumption is wrong. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 powerpc Kernel: Linux 3.8-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

--- Begin Message ---Version: 6b41-1.13.13-1+rm Hi, openjdk-6 was last released with Debian 7.0 (wheezy), which had its LTS support end nearly a year ago and which has now been archived. I'm therefore closing the remaining openjdk-6 bugs, assuming they are no longer relevant for newer (and still supported) openjdk releases. Andreas
