Deb packaging issue

[theofficialgman]

the official deb depends on

 bluej : Depends: openjdk-11-jdk (>= 11) but it is not installable

which is not available in debian bookworm and newer versions of debian.
Can the openjdk-11-jdk (>= 11) dependency be changed to java11-sdk which all java 11 jdk (and newer such as openjdk-17) have as provides? That is all you need to do. You should probably also change openjdk-17-jdk (>= 17) to java17-sdk while you are at it

I am not sure about the libopenjfx-java. you will likely need to provide that in your deb itself rather than rely on the distro having it available. edit: crossed out since libopenjfx-java is available and only is listed since openjdk-11-jdk is not installable.

Hi,

Looking at the linked issue, does this refer to the Raspberry Pi version? The files you linked are for the "unbundled" version which we no longer ship. Our .deb on the main page bundles both OpenJDK and OpenJFX inside because of these issues, so we don't have these dependencies in there:

Yes I am referring to the version available on piOS. piOS Bookworm is in testing and it does not install due to this issue. Not sure who makes or maintains that package.

closing as it was never an issue here. upstream piOS has removed the bluej package (it was quite out of date anyway)

shipping an unbundled version officially again would be very much appreciated though. ping me if you ever do that again.
