[Norbert (nrbrtx)]

The problem comes from openjdk-11-jdk-headless package.
In previous release it has needed java.xml.bind.jmod , but in 18.10 the file is missed.

See https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=bionic&arch=amd64&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=java.xml.bind for clues.

Please repack openjdk to have more jmods.
