Bug#797842: libjoda-time-java: Update libjoda-time-java to 2.8.2 to fix timezone

[Tiago Stürmer Daitx]

Package: libjoda-time-java
Version: 2.7-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

As reported in LP:# 1491530 jruby FTBFS partly due to an outdated joda-time package.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libjoda-time-java/+bug/1491530


This particular bug lead to 2 mspec test failures causing jruby to FTBFS as reported in LP: #1491526 as jruby currently runs OpenJDK 8u66 in wily.

libjoda-time-java will fail to report TZ name and shortname when running under OpenJDK 8u60 or earlier.

Upstream bugs https://github.com/JodaOrg/joda-time/issues/288 and https://github.com/JodaOrg/joda-time/issues/291

Fixed on 2.8.1. Latest is 2.8.2 with updated TZ data.

Both issues were reported upstream since JRuby should not fail due to joda-time: https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/3303 and https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/3303
