Bug#836391: gradle: recent update of jsch to version 0.1.54 breaks Gradle based projects

[Markus Koschany]

Package: gradle
Version: 2.13-3
Severity: serious

The recent update of jsch to version 0.1.54 breaks Gradle based
projects. I tried to remove the versioned dependency by updating the
use_local_artifacts.diff patch but that doesn't work. I can't find any
other reference of jsch in src:gradle, so the root cause may well be
in another package.


Exception is

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find JAR
'jsch-0.1.53.jar' required by module 'gradle-dependency-management'
using classpath or distribution directory '/usr/share/gradle'
