Package: libdbus-java
Version: 2.7-1
Tags: patch
The package uses absolute paths for entries in the package class path
whereas it should be using relative paths. This results in a compiler
warning, though AFAICT the package works correctly.
[This bug was originally discovered under Ubuntu lucid (10.04.1) using
libdbus-java version 2.7-1 and openjdk-6-jdk version
6b18-1.8.1-0ubuntu1. I originally reported the bug to Ubuntu [1] but
was asked to report it to Debian. Based on looking at the debian/rules
file in the source package, the same problem is present in the Debian
versions 2.7-1 and 2.8-1 of the package (I haven't looked at other
versions).]
To reproduce:
$ echo 'public class Foo {}' >Foo.java
$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/javac -Xlint:path -classpath
/usr/share/java/dbus.jar Foo.java
warning: [path] bad path element
"/usr/share/java/usr/share/java/unix.jar": no such file or directory
warning: [path] bad path element
"/usr/share/java/usr/share/java/hexdump.jar": no such file or directory
2 warnings
The two warnings are caused by the problem.
The problem is that the rules file adds some jar dependencies to the
package's Class-Path using absolute paths, whereas (e.g., according to
[2]) relative paths should be used. I have attached a patch to fix the
problem.
