openjdk-8 402 fails to install in focal, jammy, mantic on i386

[Vladimir Petko]

openjdk-8 402 fails to install in focal, jammy, mantic on i386 due to dependency on java-atk-bridge.

This dependency was introduced by dropping condition present in 392:
------
  ifeq ($(derivative),Ubuntu)
    ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),i386)
      ifeq (,$(filter $(distrel),precise trusty xenial bionic))
        with_bridge =
      endif
    endif
  endif
------

Note:
 java-atk-wrapper is present in noble on i386

This is a regression introduced in 8u402-ga-2:

  * Restore M-A installability of focal/i386 package (LP#1916327)
    by adding xenial, bionic, focal, jammy to the list of releases
    built with the ATK bridge, but not enabling it by default;
    keep jessie on, stretch and sid and mantic/noble off the list:
    please report bugs for issues with the bridge, so sthibault
    can find, debug, fix them

See LP: #1916327

The alternative is to publish atk-wrapper for i386 in mantic, jammy and focal.

Options:
 a) rollback the fix in Ubuntu
 b) publish atk-wrapper

This bug was fixed in the package openjdk-8 - 8u402-ga-2ubuntu1

---------------
openjdk-8 (8u402-ga-2ubuntu1) noble; urgency=medium

  * Fix installation issue on i386 (LP: #2053110):
    - d/rules: build without atk bridge on i386 for Ubuntu versions that
      do not have it.
    - d/JB-jre-headless.postinst.in: check that /usr/share/binfmts exists
      before trying to delete it.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

openjdk-8-jre is no longer installable for i386 on noble. Missing dependency on libatk-wrapper-java-jni. This library still exists for amd64, but not for i386.

[Thorsten Glaser (mirabilos)]

oh ffs, it’s missing (again?) in noble, too?

I’ll add noble to the workaround for 8u412-ga-1, which I’m working on r/n.

[Thorsten Glaser (mirabilos)]

(FWIW, last time I looked, it _did_ exist in noble)

[Vladimir Petko (vpa1977)]

I think the issue is on Ubuntu side, please do not add it to the workaround yet.

[Thorsten Glaser (mirabilos)]

Hi Vladimir, rmadison says it’s fixed now and it’s available for i386 again, so I undid the workaround addition.

I’ve just uploaded 8u412, but I’ve re-enabled tests for Debian. Due to your situation with the i386 packages, you’ll have to regenerate d/control on noble to get the i386 exclusion (I hope I got the syntax, with both architecture and profile specification, right).
