jython/buster introduces a strictly versioned java dependency, which
causes problems on some upgrade paths from stretch. (#924283, #934111)
This problem originates from the dependency cycle (#929685) between
ca-certificates-java,default-jre-headless,openjdk-11-jre-headless
which has not been solved in sid, yet (and has been in several stable
releases already).
The cycle gets broken in a way that jython gets configured
successfully but jython-stilts gets configured subsequently and
fails because the system is in a state where openjdk-8-jre-headless
is still active (because openjdk-11-jre-headless is not yet
configured), but default-jre-headless/buster is already configured.
jython-stilts calls jython which fails because bytecode compiled for
java-9+ is getting executed with java-8.
This problem does not show up in other packages, since none adds
incompatibility with the java in stretch.
This was fixed in sid by building jython with backwards compatibility
with the java in stretch, s.t. it does not matter which java version is
run during the upgrade.
I've tested the failing upgrade path in piuparts and can confirm that
the proposed package successfully works around the issues.
