Bug Description

Binary package hint: alfresco-community

alfresco-community currently depends on sun-java6-jre

This is bad because it will bring in a lot of UI based stuff required to support the JRE (in order for it to run swing apps, etc) and also because it will not install on Karmic where there is no sun-java6-jre package.

Suggestion is that it would be better to depend on java-virtual-machine | java2-runtime-headless which will satisfy the requirement for a JRE without necessarily requiring Sun's or a JRE with UI libs support.

Cheers,

-G
