Bug#630747: sun-java6-jre depends on sun-java6-bin, but it doesn't exist in the ia64 repository

[Alberto Aparici]

Package: sun-java6-jre
Version: 6.24-1~squeeze1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


sun-java6-jre fails to install on my ia64 machine
because of broken dependencies. The architecture-dependent
files for the Sun JRE don't seem to be packaged. I don't
know very much about Java development, but I found in 
Oracle's web page an ia64-specific installer:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u26-download-400750.html

Maybe it's not what is needed here, but if it is,
it should be packaged in order for sun-java6-jre to
be installable.

Otherwise, if sun-java6-bin is missing because the ia64
binaries have not been released, then the package sun-java6-jre
should be deleted from the repository, as it cannot be
installed.
