Bug Description
Binary package hint: eclipse-platform
Looking at the dependencies of eclipse-
default-jre
Standard Java or Java compatible Runtime
or java1-runtime
virtual package provided by gcj-4.4-jre, gcj-jre, jamvm, kaffe-jthreads, kaffe-pthreads
or java2-runtime
virtual package provided by default-jre, gcj-4.4-jre, gcj-jre, openjdk-6-jre, sun-java6-jre
So far all is sane. Further down the list, however;
OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT
Despite being satisfied by java2-runtime, openjdk-6-jre is listed as a direct dependency, meaning you can't install eclipse-platform without installing OpenJDK, even if you're already using Sun's Java.
Sidenote: Firefox is also listed, but there's a separate report over at https:/
firefox (>= 1.4.99)
meta package for the popular mozilla web browser
also a virtual package provided by abrowser
In a hopefully more legible format;
$ apt-cache depends eclipse-platform
