Bug#793630: groovy 1.8.6 and libcommons-cli-java 1.3.1 FTBFS

[Miguel Landaeta]

tags 793630 + help
thanks

Hi Emmanuel, how are you?

I'm writing you due to #793630. It's an FTBFS that I strongly suspect
is caused by libcommons-cli-java 1.3. When I try to build groovy with
libcommons-cli 1.2-3 it builds OK but it fails with 1.3.1-2 due to
groovyc not recognizing a flag.

I tried hard to debug this issue but I'm unable to understand how/why
groovyc ends being called with --null flag. I stumbled upon this issue
because I need to upload a security fix for groovy but I'm unable to
build groovy in sid due to this issue.

Since you have worked upstream with libcommons-cli-java, I hope to
don't bother you with this help request.

Thanks,
