installing LO 4.2.1 installs also outdated openjdk-6-jre

[LAZA]

Today i installed a new machine with Trusty beta1.

Afterwards i installed LibreOffice meta package via Synaptics and had to install also OpenJDK-6-JRE as an dependency.
This happens always if in Synaptic the recommended packages is ON (which is standard, i think).

So please change the dependency from OpenJDK-6-JRE at least to OpenJDK-7-JRE cause it is now standard.

LibreOffice 4.2.1

The package libreoffice has been dependant on default-jre (e.g. through libreoffice-base) and not any specific openjdk version. default-jre, for 12.10 and more recent, now depends on openjdk-7-jre (unsure as of when), so this issue should be resolved, although it was not a libreoffice issue to begin with.
However, I think that if openjdk-6-jre is already installed by something else, libreoffice will not require default-jre (and not openjdk-7-jre either).

Thanks Chris for your response, i tried this again today and had this also as result.

I don't know, but this must have been changed between Beta1 and the release.
Now the actual version is LibreOffice 4.2.4 and not 4.2.1 as described above.

However, Java / OpenJDK 7 is outdated now and i hope, there are the next five(!) years of support if security fixes are released.
