Bug#1013281: libbatik-java: Running rasterizer fails with inability to load main class org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main

[Brian Blood]

Package: libbatik-java
Version: 1.12-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,


Been using this kind of call against a Jessie install of this package for years:

java -jar /usr/share/java/batik-rasterizer.jar  -m image/png  -scriptSecurityOff -w 1920 /tmp/ramdisk/svgproc-b83e35c457f48904da8a39a01d230d48.svg


After upgrading system to bullseye, the same call produces this error:

Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main


From what I can tell, this was repackaged from having the actual code inside to the jar to being references to other jars.
However it looks as if all of the manifests now have a "lib/" prefixed to the classpaths and this causes java to fail at finding any usable source.

As a test, I created a symlink called lib inside /usr/share/java/ that simply points back to the same directory.
There were still some errors, but it looked like java could at least find some of the other jars it was looking at.

This might turn out to be a repackaging problem since the source package on the Apache site does come with all the jars stored into a "lib" directory.
