Bug Description
Binary package hint: ant
On two different machines (home and work) I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic, and the ant build tool started reporting this error:
-------
rosejn@
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
/home/rosejn/
Total time: 0 seconds
------------------
No matter which project I try to run it with, I get this error. If I clear my CLASSPATH environment variable then it works. I narrowed the problem down to the libxerces2-java package, so after doing this:
sudo rm /usr/share/
I can correctly run ant again. Xerces is no longer necessary with recent JVMs anyway, so it should be taken out of the dependency tree for new versions of ant.
