Bug#280707: java-package: building package with fakeroot creates an incomplete package

[Rogério Brito]

Package: java-package
Version: 0.16
Severity: important

Hi.

Today I tried making a package from Sun's Java SDK 1.5 with java-package.

Unfortunately, it seems that building the package with fakeroot is not OK,
because make-jpkg tries to write files where a regular user might not have
writing permissions. The following in an excerpt from the messagest that I
got when I tried to use:

fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin (sorry for the long line lengths):

It seems that there may be some absolute path used in the scripts used to
make the java-package.


Thanks in advance for any help, Rogério Brito.
