reassign 1006647 tomcat9
thanks
This might better belong to this package, since the problem is that
tomcat9-common depends on default-jre-headless | java8-runtime-headless
| java8-runtime, while in reality it requires Java 11. (because of
Eclipse JDT 4.21, see original bug report for details)
If we are unable to fully resolve this, I think that we should at least
fix these incorrect dependencies to make the package depend on
"default-jre-headless | java11-runtime-headless | java11-runtime"
instead. But as previously mentioned, I would much rather see us move to
Eclipse JDT 4.20 instead so we can retain Java 8 support until Debian at
some point upgrades to Tomcat 10.1 (at which point requiring Java 11 is
inevitable).
Best regards,
Per
