[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#931268: imagej: ImageJ does not launch

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

thanks for this bug report.  Unfortunately it is to late for Buster to
fix it since we are in deep freeze.  You have to options to deal with
this on your local installation:

   1. apt get install dpkg-dev
   2. export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64
      (or whatever JDK you are using)

We'll come up with a proper fix once Buster is released but for the
moment this should help you on your installation.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
