Bug#368172: classpath: Should conflict with current cacao and jamvm package

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: classpath
Version: 2:0.91-2
Severity: serious

After updating classpath to version 0.91, cacao is unable to find any
classes, and jamvm sometimes segfaults.  I believe this is because of
changes done in the Classpath<->JVM interface, and that classpath
because of this should conflict with the current versions of cacao (<=
0.95-1) and jamvm (<= 1.4.2-1).

Here are two examples of the problems.  This is using cacao to run
openjump:

  % JAVACMD="/usr/bin/cacao" JAVA_ARGS="-Dgnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.Graphics=Graphics2D -Xms256M -Xmx256M" openjump
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.vividsolutions.jump.workbench.JUMPWorkbench not found in java.lang.ClassLoader$1{urls=[], parent=null}
     <<No stacktrace available>>
  %

This is from using jamvm to run wordwind2d:

  % JAVA="jamvm -Xmx200M" ./ww2d
  WW2D 0.99.87 by Vitaliy Pronkin <pronvit at gmail.com> starting...
  ./ww2d: line 6: 29395 Segmentation fault      $JAVA -jar WW2D.jar $@
  %

I will test again when new versions of cacao and jamvm make it into
unstable, and report bugs against those packages if the problem still
exist then.

I report this bug against classpath as we should keep classpath out of
Debian/testing until the new versions of jamvm and cacao are
available, to make sure the versions in Debian/testing keep working.
Setting severity to serious for the same reason, to make sure
classpath do not enter testing before the conflicts are added.

Friendly,
