Bug#510139: libmysql-java: package not in default java library path so all programs using will fail

[Folkert van Heusden]

Package: libmysql-java
Version: 5.1.6+dfsg-1
Severity: normal


libmysql-java: package not in default java library path so all programs using will fail
one now needs to explicit some environment variable to get it to work which is unfortunate
as then one needs scripts specific to the linux distribution it runs on
