libitext-java shouldn't depend on openjdk-6

[Volodymyr Buell]

libitext-java 2.1.5-1ubuntu2 depends on default-jre, therefore depends on openjdk-6. This is wrong in case if the user uses sun, gij or one of plenty other jvm implementations.

[Onkar Shinde (onkarshinde)]

libitext-java has an alternate dependency on java2-runtime. This dependency is satisfied by every other JRE in repositories.

[Volodymyr Buell (vbuell)]

Your statement is probably correct, but in fact it doesn't work. Please make sure that [libitext-java + sun-java6-*] bundle works (I mean you have to have ONLY sun-java6-* in the system).

I have got sun-java6-* packages installed but when i try to install libitext-java it marks gcj-4.4 with its dependencies to install.

$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There is only one alternative in link group java: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
Nothing to configure.

[Numérigraphe (numerigraphe)]

sun-java6 is not in lucid anymore. If you installed it from outside Ubuntu (like the official Java site), you may consider forcing to install without the dependencies.

"I have got sun-java6-* packages installed but when i try to install libitext-java it marks gcj-4.4 with its dependencies to install."
I think this is because of bug #411588.
