Vuze does not launch after Lucid update

[Graham Clenaghan]

Binary package hint: azureus

Worked fine before update, not at all afterwards.
Output when launched from a commandline:

I could bypass this error, if I place a symlink named swt.jar in /usr/share/jave/ that points to swt-gtk-3.5.1.jar in the same directory.

[Søren Bredlund Caspersen (soeren-b-c)]

I can confirm this problem, and that the workaround with the symlink mentioned above works.

[Graham Clenaghan (origin191)]

Thanks, Florian, that got it back running for me.

[JC (s-launchpad-jc)]

This was reported in Debian back in February.

Looks like in March Adrian tagged it as unreproducible and reduced the importance.

[Steven Davies-Morris (sdavmor)]

FWIW yesterday I upgraded three computers to Ubuntu 10.04 from 9.10. One is a 64 bit desktop kernel, and two are 32 bit pae-kernel desktops. One of those is a MythBuntu box. Azureus fails to launch on all three machines after the upgrade. I have not attempted to implement the symlink workaround, but the bug is still there.

[Steven Davies-Morris (sdavmor)]

Following up. The symlink workaround works as advertised on all three of my 10.04 boxes.

[Tiago Ramos (tiagolramos)]

as said in Bug #558672, the reinstall of swt-gtk-3.5.1.jar also fix the problem

[taur (taur)]

For me on 64bit ubuntu the reinstall did not work, but the workaround did.

[TBeholder (turbobeholder)]

Same here, on upgrade to 10.04. reinstalling [libswt-gtk-3.5-java] fixed the problem.

[Daniel Silberschmidt (dansilber)]

Same problem here, on upgrade to 10.04. suggested workaround solved

[Catalina Diaz (bachicata)]

Same issue, reinstalling libswt-gtk-3.5-java and then reinstalling vuze solved it, thx
