Bug Description

After a fresh install on Ubuntu 22.10, Davmail will fail to launch. It gives the error: can't load library /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/lib/libawt_xawt.so

Installing the package openjdk-11-jdk corrects this issue. I believe that this package needs to be made a dependency?

I meant to add, this issue is not present on 22.04. Only 22.10.

Correction - I think the correct package is openjdk-11-jre (not jdk). I was comparing the apt log between davmail's .deb on sourceforge and the one from the Ubuntu repos and this was a standout difference. Installing the jre package allowed davmail to launch properly.

Not sure if this is the root cause, but the package default-java does not install the libawt_xawt.so file. (It has libawt.so and lib_headless.so only). installing the jre package adds the libawt_xawt.so to the default-java directory (which links it to java-11-openjdk-amd64)
