Status in “openjdk-6” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
Bug description:
On a current intrepid setup, installing openjdk-6-jre-headless pulls in several
packages that might not be suitable for a server setup : avahi-daemon, dbus,
consolekit, dbus-x11...
They are pulled in through the libnss-mdns Recommends, as well as 24 other
packages. Complete list follows:
avahi-daemon libavahi-common3 libavahi-common-data libavahi-core5 libdaemon0
libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 dbus consolekit libck-connector0 libdbus-glib-1-2
libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-data libpam-ck-connector dbus-x11 bind9-host
libbind9-40 libcap2 libdns43 libisc44 libisccfg40 libisccc40 liblwres40 libxml2
xml-core sgml-base perl perl-modules
As we want to promote usage of Java-based software on Ubuntu server, we might
need a basic openjdk-6-jre-headless package that can be used as a dependency
for a Java server package without pulling in too many packages.
I propose to downgrade the libnss-mdns recommend to a suggest (for
openjdk-6-jre-headless), resulting in going from 37 dependencies for that
runtime on a bare install to a more healthy 9.
According to the changelog, this Recommend was added for 6b09-1~pre1, but I am
not sure it qualifies for something you want to find on all but specific setups
?
Proposed patch follows.
