Bug Description
SRU for 17.10
[Impact]
The program refuse to start due to file missing from the binary package (MANIFEST.MF)
[Test case]
1. Install freeplane.
2. Attempt to run freeplane.
Expected: program starts and shows a window.
Currently: crashes with the error message below.
[Regression potential]
Low. It rebuilds the package, but with parallel builds disabled. Patch is taken from the latest Debian package.
[Additional notes]
This bug has been a bit annoying, which in turn have led to a possibly confusing bug report. It was initially assumed that a rebuild would fix the issue, and this was verified locally, but since the official build servers ran the build in parallel the issue didn't go away in build1.
Thus, by getting an SRU and through the verification process it should be easier to guarantee and verify that the proposed package contains the required and expected files.
Original report:
Since recent upgrades, freeplane won't start anymore, with this message:

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.
I get the same error message when attempting to start freeplane 1.6.6-1 on Ubuntu Artful.
It looks like the underlying issue is the file /usr/share/ freeplane/ core/org. freeplane. core/META- INF/MANIFEST. MF which is present in the Debian package [1], but the exact same version doesn't contain it in Ubuntu [2]. Not sure how that might happen, but looks like an Ubuntu-only issue.
