Bug#791990: scilab doesn't work on arm64: could not find the Java configuration for the model <aarch64>

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: scilab
Version: 5.5.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Forwarded: http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13931
User: debian-arm at lists.debian.org
Usertags: arm64 port

While scilab is available on arm64, it doesn't actually work:

$ /usr/bin/scilab
Could not find the Java configuration for the model <aarch64>. Please contact us on http://bugzilla.scilab.org
/usr/bin/scilab-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjava.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

A patch is attached.

Unfortunately, we then get another error, which seems to be a problem
in gluegen2.  I'll file a bug.

Scilab cannot create Scilab Java Main-Class (we have not been able to find the main Scilab class. Check if the Scilab and thirdparty packages are available).
