Bug Description

Jabref stopped working due to libawt_xawt.so not being found.

dpkg reports that openjdk-11-jre-headless does provide libawt_xawt.so in the listing (dpkg -L) but the library is not actually installed. Installing openjdk-11-jre (not headless) was needed to make jabref work.

openjdk-11-jre not openjdk-11-jre-headless should be the jabref dependency.

This seems to be an issue in Debian as well: https://linux.debian.bugs.dist.narkive.com/4P3WgTGx/bug-987570-openjdk-11-jre-headless-libawt-xawt-so-still-listed-as-part-of-this-package-instead-of

This bug was fixed in the package jabref - 3.8.2+ds-15

---------------
jabref (3.8.2+ds-15) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add default-jre to Depends.
    So far a runtime dependency on a java interpreter was missing, which
    became apparent now, as libawt_xawt.so was moved from
    openjdk-11-jre-headless to openjdk-11-jre.
    Thanks to Matthias Klose for the bug report.
