Bug#612124: Acknowledgement (libxerces2-java: Depends-line broken due to "hidden" special character)

[Martin Millnert]

An update.

My first assumption seems to be wrong, but something else seems to be
seriously wrong:

root at sslvpn-test:/usr/src# aptitude why libxerces2-java gcj-4.4-base
p   libxerces2-java      Depends  default-jre-headless | java1-runtime-headless | java2-runtime-headless
p   gcj-4.4-jre-headless Provides java2-runtime-headless                                                
p   gcj-4.4-jre-headless Depends  gcj-4.4-base (= 4.4.5-2)                                              
root at sslvpn-test:/usr/src# aptitude why libxerces2-java sun-java6-jre
p   libxerces2-java Depends  default-jre-headless | java1-runtime-headless | java2-runtime-headless
i   sun-java6-jre   Provides java2-runtime-headless                                                

http://packages.debian.org/sid/java2-runtime-headless

Either of the packages on the above URL should satisfy the dependency,
yet neither aptitute nor apt-get manages to understand that the virtual
package is provided for already.

I'm at a loss as to why this does not install w/o gcj.

Regards,
Martin
