Hi Emmanuel,

thanks for your reply.

I generated the package by calling

  make-jpkg jdk-8u66-linux-x64.tar.gz

The generated package oracle-java8-jdk_8u66_amd64.deb
has a dependency on ca-certificates-java

Since I don't have any openjdk installed, I downloaded
ca-certificates-java_20140324_all.deb
and installed both packages by calling:

  dpkg -i oracle-java8-jdk_8u66_amd64.deb
ca-certificates-java_20140324_all.deb

after which /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts does not exist.


Just tried a few variants and I found a workaround by calling instead of
the above:

  dpkg -i ca-certificates-java_20140324_all.deb
oracle-java8-jdk_8u66_amd64.deb

(just switching the order of the debs) which does generate
/etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts


After figuring this out, I am not sure anymore if this is an issue of
java-package or if this should be reported to dpkg or ca-certificates-java.


Best wishes
