Bug#558711: libtagsoup-java: tagsoup will not run on the command line as specified on the man page

[Norman Ramsey]

Package: libtagsoup-java
Version: 1.2-1
Severity: important

Every attempt to run the tool (according to the instructions on the
man page) results in the same error message:  

  : nr at homedog 9079 ; java -jar tagsoup-1.2 new.html > new.xml
  Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from tagsoup-1.2
  : nr at homedog 9081 ; java -jar /usr/share/java/tagsoup-1.2 new.html > new.xml
  Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from /usr/share/java/tagsoup-1.2
  : nr at homedog 9082 ; java -jar tagsoup new.html > new.xml                    
  Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from tagsoup
  : nr at homedog 9084 ; java -jar tagsoup -help             
  Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from tagsoup
  : nr at homedog 9085 ; java -jar tagsoup --help
  Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from tagsoup

Maybe I have an incompatible /usr/bin/java and there's a missing dependency?
