package postint script deletes files belonging to tzdata-java

[TJ]

The .postinst scripts of both openjdk-6-jre-lib and openjdk-7-jre-lib delete files belonging to tzdata-java.

This leads to unexpected errors in Java applications. One such is Eclipse.

Eclipse will fail to list installation history and report the exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.ibm.icu.impl.JavaTimeZone

when trying to view Help > About Eclipse Platform > Installation Details > Installation History

The postinst scripts are at fault:
