Bug#834679: surefire: FTBFS in testing (1 required artifact is missing)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:surefire
Version: 2.17-2
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     [java]   Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
     [java] 
     [java]   Then, install it using the command: 
     [java]       mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.commons -DartifactId=commons-lang3 -Dversion=3.x -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
     [java] 
     [java]   Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: 
     [java]       mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.commons -DartifactId=commons-lang3 -Dversion=3.x -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because this source package only generates "Arch: all" packages, this
is the same as a FTBFS bug in the usual sense and the fact that I was
using "dpkg-buildpackage -A" is quite irrelevant.

For this particular package, I've also checked that it fails to build
from source in the reproducible builds site:

Thanks.
