Bug#1032093: jameica: missing dependencies

[Jochen Sprickerhof]

I was not able to reproduce this. On an up to date Debian unstable I tried:

$ sudo apt install debvm
# create a Debian unstable VM

# run it with qemu
$ debvm-run -g -- -m 4G
# inside the VM install hibiscus
$ sudo apt install --no-install-recommends hibiscus
# run it
$ jameica

Can you try this and maybe check the difference to your system?

$ debvm-create --size=10G -- --include=task-gnome-desktop --aptopt='Apt::Install-Recommends "true"' --include=linux-image-amd64 --hook-dir=/usr/share/mmdebstrap/hooks/useradd

I cannot do this, I am on an ARMv9 platform (Debian's arm64 architecture).

It should work on arm64 just as well and I would be interested in your experience with it.

However, I still had bcpkix.jar linking to bcpkix-jdk18on-1.72.jar as well as bcprov.jar and bcputil.jar linking to bcprov-jdk18on-1.72.jar and bcutil-jdk18on-1.72.jar resp. which I had been downloading from Maven Central before I prepared the pull request for Olaf Willuhn (upstream). Although I thought they were basically the same, there have to be differences. After reverting the links to the jar files that are provided by Debian, there is no such issue indeed. So I tried to track this down to bcpkix.jar. If only this jar file is exchanged by the one from Maven Central, then it doesn't matter whether the other two are from Debian or Maven Central. Then this issue is happening. So the difference must be within bcpkix.jar. I had a look into both versions and saw that the manifest in Debian's bcpkix.jar specifies

 Class-Path: bcprov.jar bcutil.jar

whereas the manifest in Maven's bcpkix.jar has no class path specified. I guess this is the reason why it works with Debian's BouncyCastle jar files even if the manifest of jameica.jar does not specify a class path with bcutil.jar.

Thanks for figuring this out!

I cannot confirm this. After removing both bcutil-1.72.jar and bcutil.jar, (even with the other two libraries taken from Debian) I run into this issue when Jameica tries to generate the self-signed certificate for a new user profile. It does not quit after the exception but seems to hang forever, the splash screen stays open saying "generating new keys and certificates ..." for minutes. Eventually I have yet lost my patience and killed the process.

I forgot to move away my ~/.jameica/ so yes I can see the error now.

Cheers Jochen
