icedtea openjdk-7 depends on openjdk-6

[Cedric]

When i try to install icedtead-plugin, i have to install openjdk6.
But i only want to use openjdk7 without any installation of openjdk6.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Archlinux already has the package http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/icedtea-web-java7/ I don't know why Ubuntu doesnt have it yet.

moses@deunan:~$ dpkg -L icedtea-plugin |grep .so

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so

This might also solve this problem:

Then I guess the only choice is using Precise and installing icedtea-7-plugin

[Removed by request (removed3425744)]

openjdk-6-jre is now removed from the dependencies. But there are still dependencies to openjdk-6-jre-headless and openjdk-6-jre-lib.

Edit: I can manually remove openjdk-6-jre-headless and openjdk-6-jre-lib with apt and it is not breaking anything. It seems the problem is solved then.

Confirm dependency issues solved, openjdk-6-* can be replaced by openjdk-7-* and icedtea-7-plugin.
