Bug#298525: fop should depend on libxerces2-java instead of libxerces-java.

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: fop
Severity: normal


Hi,

the current version of fop depends on libxerces-java, whereas the
release notes of fop 0.20.5 (on their homepage
http://xml.apache.org/fop/relnotes.html) are saying that "The following
JARs have been updated: Xerces to version 2.2.1, Xalan to version 2.4.1
and Batik to version 1.5beta4."
Moreover libxalan2-java is depending on libxerces2-java so that
basically the two versions of Xerces are required by fop.

Also, but I'm not a java programmer, I don't know if there is a notion
of 'linking against', when I try to use fop as drop-in replacement while
packaging freemind, I get errors. Might be related or not, as I said,
but I'd like to be sure before digging deeper into the problem (hence
the problem is not minor to me).

Thanks, Eric
