Bug#1061025: Additional information

[Vladimir Petko]

Dear Maintainers,

httpcomponents-client contains an implicit dependency on slf4j-java.

Last time it was build successfully against libcommons-log-java 1.2[1]

Support for slf4j was added after its release[2][3]

Debian and Ubuntu have slf4j 1.7.32-1 which calls
org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getLog[4].

This causes exception in httpclient-cache tests[5]:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Recursive update
 at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap.computeIfAbsent(ConcurrentHashMap.java:1763)

Best Regards,
 Vladimir.
