severity 646600 serious thanks This bug is serious: if you rebuild jarjar in current sid, and then try to use that rebuilt package, the results are broken. For example, I ran into this with my Debian rebuild with cglib failing to build from source. It took me a while to find this bug report and find out that it was the cause.
I actually wonder: is it a good idea in the first place to keep this misfeature (asm classes copied into the jar under a different Java package name) in the Debian packages? It seems to me this is a Java equivalent of including private copies of external libraries in a source package, which is frowned upon in Debian packages. Maybe the Debian version should be patched to use the system asm libraries instead of bundling in a copy of whatever system asm library happens to be available at build time. -- Daniel Schepler __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
