Bug#915504: sbt: Fails to detect version of java

[Antonio Ospite]

Package: sbt
Version: 0.13.13-2
Followup-For: Bug #915504

Dear Maintainer,

the issue has been fixed upstream:
https://github.com/sbt/sbt-launcher-package/commit/5a0bde442dec7d9a1bdc35655541902fb873172a#diff-edd0ab5838b2fa424d30f94df800e1f9

Some other fixes are also upstream:
https://github.com/sbt/sbt-launcher-package/commit/a638ad49ac484ba87e512f6dfebf8aa83e4b3ad7#diff-edd0ab5838b2fa424d30f94df800e1f9
https://github.com/sbt/sbt-launcher-package/commit/21cf71e384b8d3dba4c56d167837a9236d294c9d#diff-edd0ab5838b2fa424d30f94df800e1f9

Since sbt-launch-lib.bash is a self contained script, creating a patch
from the latest upstream version should not be too problematic:

$ cd /tmp
$ wget 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sbt/sbt-launcher-package/master/src/universal/bin/sbt-launch-lib.bash
$ diff -u /usr/share/sbt/bin/sbt-launch-lib.bash sbt-launch-lib.bash

Ciao,
   Antonio

Bug#915504: sbt: Fails to detect version of java

[Matt Nottingham]

Package: sbt
Version: 0.13.13-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When running 'sbt', for example 'sbt' or 'sbt --help', it immediately halts
with the following error:

  The java installation you have is not up to date
  requires at least version 1.6+, you have
  version 11.0 2018-10-16

  Please go to http://www.java.com/getjava/ and download
  a valid Java Runtime and install before running .

Which seems somewhat contradictory!

Thanks,

Matt
