Bug#1057696: ca-certificates-java: autopkgtest "depends" on openjdk-8-jre-headless which only is in unstable

[Paul Gevers]

Source: ca-certificates-java
Version: 20230710
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: fails-always

Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, it fails in all suites 
except when unstable is available. Can you please investigate the 
situation and fix it? I copied some of the output at the bottom of this 
report. Your test tries to install openjdk-8-jre-headless which is only 
available in unstable and hence the test fails in testing and stable.

The release team has announced [1] that failing autopkgtest on amd64 and 
arm64 are considered RC in testing. Also, in the changelog you called it 
a smoke test. Please annotate the test with superficial in the 
restrictions if the test is not testing the installed package in a 
substantial way (albeit judging from the name of the package, this smoke 
test might be just doing that).

More information about this bug and the reason for filing it can be 
found on
