<long stream of expletives deleted>... I'm frustrated by this because I thought we had addressed the compile-time rdeps by building everything and reaching out to package maintainers when there was compile-time breakage. And I didn't anticipate the run-time breakage. Long-term, I think it is worth discussing how best to support Java applications in main, since it often feels like we're swimming against the stream trying to support system-level JARs for everything packaged for Debian. But short-term, I'd like to ask for the team's input on what I needs to do to clean up the mess I have made by introducing the new version. Is it sufficient to rebuild all rdeps and then upload after a quick run-time test? Thanks for the input, and sorry for the noise, tony
