** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ Due to an incorrect symlink created in the package, using this Java
+ library with another Java application (or, in this case, building
+ Gradle) will fail.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ The simplest would be to use this library in some way. The only
+ application that I personally know of that uses this library is Gradle.
+ ("apt-cache rdepends libwerken.xpath-java" says that this library is
+ also used in velocity.)
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ Minimal. This is fixing a symlink created by the package, and (at least
+ as of Vivid) this package is used in only one other package.
+
+ [Original Description]
+
This affects Trusty and possibly others. I hit it whilst backporting
JavaFX (openjfx):
Execution failed for task ':graphics:classes'.
> Could not list contents of '/usr/share/java/werken.xpath.jar'.

- The package installs an incorrect symbolic link when trying to alias the
alternative hyphen and dot-separated names, causing packages looking for
"/usr/share/java/werken.xpath.jar" to fail to build.

$ ls -l /usr/share/java/werken*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76418 Jan 27 2012
/usr/share/java/werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 27 2012 /usr/share/java/werken-xpath.jar ->
werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 27 2012 /usr/share/java/werken.xpath.jar ->
werken.xpath-0.9.4.jar
The manual work-around is to fix the link:
$ sudo ln -fs /usr/share/java/werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar
/usr/share/java/werken.xpath.jar
$ ls -l /usr/share/java/werken*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76418 Jan 27 2012
/usr/share/java/werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 27 2012 /usr/share/java/werken-xpath.jar ->
werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 May 15 00:42 /usr/share/java/werken.xpath.jar ->
/usr/share/java/werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar
