Bug#361608: ecj-bootstrap: takes over /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/javac with ../../../../bin/ecj

[Filippo Giunchedi]

Package: ecj-bootstrap
Severity: normal

Hi,
I'm not sure if this belongs to ecj-bootstrap, feel free to reassign if
I'm wrong. Here is the problem:

db4.2 (4.2.52-24):

checking if /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/javac works... configure: error:
The Java compiler /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/javac failed (see
config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)

configure:21107: checking if /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/javac works
configure:21121: /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/javac  Test.java
----------
1. ERROR in Test.java

and indeed:

# file /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/javac
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/javac: symbolic link to `../../../../bin/ecj'

shouldn't that be gcj-wrapper-4.0 ? (which in turn compiles successfully Test.java)

# /usr/bin/gcj-wrapper-4.0 Test.java
#

system is unstable, building with sbuild

java-gcj-compat-dev: 1.0.51-1
java-gcj-compat: 1.0.51-1
gcj-4.0: 4.0.3-1
ecj-bootstrap: 3.1.2-4

thanks,
filippo
