Public bug reported: Hi, A user recently reported an issue on our bug tracker stating that our package was pulling in openjdk-9 and subsequently crashed when started. This apparently because openjdk-9 is the default choice for java8-runtime, which is quite surprising.
Now it is technically correct that java9 does provide a java8-runtime, but java9 isn't even released yet and should definitely not be the default java8-runtime until that time. Same bug was reported against puppet here: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/EZ-77 ** Affects: openjdk-9 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584118 Title: 16.04 incorrectly installs openjdk-9 to satisfy java8-runtime dependency To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-9/+bug/1584118/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
