So we have "a major problem" (to avoid the term grave bug) here, but
nobody feels responsible? Which package is to blame (eclipse or swt-gtk)
and which severity is appropriate for the case that two totally
unrelated packages are not installable at the same time?

Currently it's not possible to install two of the most prominent java
packages together on a single box in etch -- this is surely a grave bug
for some people (read: users) out there, and I bet that they couldn't
care less which package is to blame. In doubt it will be just a grave
bug for etch...

Looking at all related bugs it seems that there was some discussion
about this bug (I haven't found further informations) and the bugs where
reassigned to azureus. Now you say azureus is not the package to blame.
So what shall we do now?


Cheers,

Bastian
