oab-java.sh fails to package java 6 on Ubuntu 14.04

[shinji257]

Java 6 fails to package on Ubuntu 14.04. Maybe issue started with 13.10 but I can't test at this time.

This is due to a dependency on packages that no longer exists. The best I can tell is that they were dropped on 13.10.

Packages in question are lib32asound2 and ia32-libs.

lib32asound2 is likely just libasound2:i386 however ia32-libs was pulling in a bunch of other stuff and I don't know what the additional needed is there.

Using a fork of the script I was able to install Java 7 and Java 8 successfully.

I tried taking out the deps and I get this in the log eventually resulting in an error...

dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture amd64
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: lib32asound2 ia32-libs
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting

Confirmed. And Java 7 (ran the script with the -7 option) also fails on Ubuntu 14.04:

i guess the required new package name is : libasound2:i386, for ia32-libs, could be multiarch-support

[slovdahl]

Anyone managed to work around this?

[sergey-dryabzhinsky]

Add these deps instead of lib32asound2 ia32-libs into sun-java6/debian/control(.in):
libasound2:i386 libodbc1:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxi6:i386 libxt6:i386 libxtst6:i386

It also must be send to upstream: https://github.com/rraptorr/sun-java6
But this change must depend on distro version some how...
