Bug#578361: sun-java6-jdk (amd64): outdated version with security vulnerabilities

[Gebauer, Mirko (FRA-MRM)]

Package: sun-java6-jdk
Version: 6-17-1
Severity: serious
Tags: security

Package sun-java6-jdk on sid/amd64 lags behind sid/i386 quite a bit now. That's a pity, since the current version of Sun Java has quite a list of security fixes compared to the package in sid/amd64.

I'm tracking sun-java6-jdk from unstable on a system with lenny/amd64 installed, to have security support for the package (OpenJDK is currently no option, unfortunately).

Will there be further development of sun-java6-jdk on amd64?

Best Regards,
Mirko
