Bug#281780: Creation of sun-j2re1.4 package fails

[Sven Lauritzen]

Package: java-package
Version: 0.17
Severity: important
Tags: patch sid

make-jpkg crashes with a parse error.

These are the last lines of output:

Create debian package:
    dh_testdir
    dh_testroot
    dh_installchangelogs
    dh_installdocs
    dh_strip
    dh_compress
    dh_fixperms
    dh_installdeb
    dh_shlibdeps
    dh_gencontrol
    dh_md5sums
    dh_builddeb
dpkg-deb: parse error, in file
`/tmp/make-jpkg.XXXX0Z1hJT/install/DEBIAN/control' near line 7 package
`sun-j2re1.4':
 `Provides' field, invalid package name `j2re${j2se_release}': character
`$' not allowed - only letters, digits and -+._ allowed
dh_builddeb: command returned error code 512

I've fixed it by removing the backslash from line 15 of
/usr/share/java-package/j2re.sh:

Provides: java-common, java-virtual-machine, java-runtime,
java2-runtime, java-browser-plugin, j2re\${j2se_release}
                                        ^

Then it works.

Best regards
