Bug#763156: activemq: fails to start with java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError

[Chris Boot]

Package: activemq
Version: 5.6.0+dfsg1-1
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,

I realise the root cause of the problem may not be in the ActiveMQ packages but
I don't know enough about Java and how Java things are packaged in Debian to be
confident that I would target the right packages.

After rebooting my jessie VM running ActiveMQ today, ActiveMQ would no longer
start. My activemq.log reports:

2014-09-28 09:53:38,815 | INFO  | Refreshing org.apache.activemq.xbean.XBeanBrokerFactory$1 at 5b0a485c: startup date [Sun Sep 28 09:53:38 BST 2014]; root of context hierarchy | org.apache.activemq.xbean.XBeanBrokerFactory$1 | main

My packages are fully up to date as of Sun 28 Sep 09:17:57 UTC 2014.

I notice that libspring-java has recently transitioned to libasm4-java and
libcglib3-java, but I still appear to have several packages depending on
libasm3-java and libcglib-java. I expect that is the root cause of the issue.

HTH,
Chris
