Bug#775450: clojure1.6: clojure 1.6 doesn't work with gij/gcj 4.9 instead of openjdk

[Rogério Brito]

Package: clojure1.6
Version: 1.6.0+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

First of all, thanks for packaging clojure. Unfortunately, it seems that
clojure doesn't work with simply any current installation of packages that
provide java2-runtime-headless (like gcj-4.9-jdk and its dependencies).
Here is what I get:

Is there any way to keep the ability to run with gcj?

If not, perhaps getting the dependency of clojure1.6 updated to be
default-jdk would be better (but, if I recall correctly, openjdk 7 didn't
work on some of the ports---perhaps the kfreebsd ones?---and the changed
dependency wouldn't really fix this).

Opinions?


Thanks once again,

Rogério Brito.
