Bug#657889: maven-debian-helper: mh_make is failing with a java.lang.NoSuchMethodError exception

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Package: maven-debian-helper
Version: 1.5
Severity: important

Hello,

I just upgraded maven-debian-helper to version 1.5 (cherry-pick from unstable of
this package and dependencies).
mh_make is failing with:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.debian.maven.repo.POMTransformer.setFixVersions(Z)V
	at org.debian.maven.packager.DependenciesSolver.<init>(DependenciesSolver.java:183)
	at org.debian.maven.packager.DependenciesSolver.main(DependenciesSolver.java:1555)

I guess it is too old version of a dependency. It should be enforced in the
maven-debian-helper package.

Thanks for this great package btw,
Sylvestre
