We don't ship a package named liblog4j in Debian anymore. You have probably
installed this one manually or tried to upgrade from an ancient Debian release.
Skipping multiple releases is not supported. We once had a package named
liblog4j but it was renamed to liblog4j1.2-java and its source package was
finally removed from Debian in 2011.
