[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#896977: starlink-votable-java: new version misses versioned depends on packages from starjava-fits

[Ole Streicher]

Hi Paul,

thanks for the bug report. The problem here is indeed a missing
versionized dependency from starlink-fits-java; I just uploaded a fix.

For starlink-table-java, the problem is a bit more tricky: the new
starlink-fits-java requires to add one line

FitsConstants.configureHierarch();

to the tests initializations to let some of the tests succeed.

I however hesitate to put a "breaks" into starjava-fits, since the
package is not really broken; just the use in some corner cases needs
that line. This is however fixed in the starjava-table version in unstable.

Best regards

Ole
