Bug#542162: maven2: mvn command fail right after installing the package

[Matthieu Baechler]

Package: maven2
Version: 2.2.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I just installed maven2 package, and the command returns an error when invoqued :

matthieu at matthieu-laptop:~$ mvn
org.codehaus.classworlds.NoSuchRealmException: plexus.core
	at org.codehaus.classworlds.ClassWorld.getRealm(ClassWorld.java:128)
	at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.mainWithExitCode(Launcher.java:434)
	at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:375)

It used to work 3 weeks ago, so I thing some recent changes breaks it.
