undefined symbol: JVM_IsUseContainerSupport, version SUNWprivate_1.1

[Martin Vysny]

Installing openjdk-11-jre-dcevm/groovy,now 11.0.7+1-1 amd64 makes java fail to start:

~> java -dcevm
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/lib/libjava.so: undefined symbol: JVM_IsUseContainerSupport, version SUNWprivate_1.1

I can see the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-11-jre-dcevm/+bug/1890482 however it applies to a different dcevm version, therefore I thought to open a new bug report - hopefully that was the correct thing to do.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

The openjdk-11-jre-dcevm seems to quite often require updates to match the lastest openjdk-11 versions, but the released versions I can see from the archive are usually outdated.

Please run the following command and add a comment with the output here so we can check exactly what versions you have been using:

$ apt policy openjdk-11-jre openjdk-11-jre-dcevm

Many thanks

Certainly, thank you :)
