dicomimageviewer won't start without missing dependency default-jre

[Marc D.]

The package pixelmed-apps contains a program dicomimageviewer.

That program won't start, with the following output:

$ dicomimageviewer
[warning] /usr/bin/dicomimageviewer: Unable to locate jai_imageio in /usr/share/java
[warning] /usr/bin/dicomimageviewer: Unable to locate clibwrapper_jiio in /usr/share/java

The package depends on default-jre-headless. When I install default-jre, to which the package has no dependency relationship, the program starts.
