Bug#893849: default-jre: Recommends default-java-plugin, which is no longer built

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: default-jre
Version: 2:1.9-62
Severity: important

default-jre 2:1.9-62 still has:

  Recommends: default-java-plugin

but default-java-plugin is no longer built.

Because of that, aptitude refuses to upgrade default-jre without
a manual intervention:

The following packages depend on version 2:1.8-59 of default-jre, and will be  ▒
broken if it is upgraded.  ▒
   ▒
  * default-java-plugin (held/unchanged, 2:1.8-59) depends on default-jre (=   ▒
2:1.8-59)  ▒

(I suppose that aptitude doesn't try to remove the automatically
installed default-java-plugin package because it would break a
Recommends, as signaled by the second resolution choice.)

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: libservlet2.5-java

libservlet2.5-java can't be upgraded from 6.0.35-1+squeeze2 to 6.0.35-2
if libservlet2.4-java 5.5.33-1 is installed:

Bug#350729: cacao: Incorrect result due to computations in extended precision on x86 (regression)

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: cacao
Version: 0.94-1
Severity: normal

With the following program:

public class test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
test t = new test();
t.doTest();
}

volatile double x, y, z, d;

public void doTest() {
x = 9007199254740994.0; /* 2^53 + 2 */
y = 1.0 - 1/65536.0;
z = x + y;
d = z - x;
System.out.println(z =  + z);
System.out.println(d =  + d);
}
}

I get on an x86 machine:

z = 9.007199254740996E15
d = 2.0

According to the Java specifications, computations must correspond
to the IEEE-754 double precision, and the result is incorrect.

Package cacao 0.93-4 did not have this problem:

z = 9.007199254740994E15
d = 0.0
