Bug#605063: batik is crashing (libbatik-java)

[Andrew Ross]

Package: libbatik-java
Version: 1.7-7
Severity: normal

This bug was orinigally reported by Toufik against the Ubuntu package, 
see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/batik/+bug/579710 but it 
also affects the package in Debian.

It appears to be caused by a lack of Class-Path entries in the batik.jar 
file. The upstream batik.jar file is mostly classpath entries pointing 
to the other batik jars, plus some of the dependent libraries.

Original report:

Ubuntu Version : Ubuntu 9.10

$ apt-cache policy libbatik-java
libbatik-java:
  Installed: 1.7.ubuntu-4ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.7.ubuntu-4ubuntu1

The repository version of batik (libbatik-java package) is crashing. Note that the official version from http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/ (same version mumber) works fine
