Bug#463120: libjsch-java: ant cannot find jsch

[Jerome Robert]

Package: libjsch-java
Version: 0.1.36-1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Even when the package libjsch-java is installed ant cannot find it (it's required for the scp task). This is because ant task dependencies are search in /usr/share/ant/lib and this directory doesn't contains any link to /usr/share/java/jsch.jar. Other packages like libbcel-java and junit provide such link so I guess it's should be the same for libjsch-java:

$ dpkg -L junit | grep /share/ant/lib/
/usr/share/ant/lib/junit.jar
$ dpkg -L libbcel-java | grep /share/ant/lib/
/usr/share/ant/lib/bcel.jar

My /usr/share/ant/lib/ after installing libjsch-java.jar:

$ ls -l /usr/share/ant/lib/ | grep ^l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      19 2007-11-09 10:03 bcel.jar -> ../../java/bcel.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      20 2008-01-08 11:43 junit.jar -> ../../java/junit.jar

What I needed to do to make aware of it:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      19 2008-01-29 17:32 jsch.jar -> ../../java/jsch.jar
