Bug#342723: java-gcj-compat: dangling symlink to fastjar-4.0

["Laurent Bonnaud" <bonnaud@lis.inpg.fr>]

Package: java-gcj-compat
Version: 1.0.44-1
Severity: normal


Hi,

here is the problem:

$ symlinks -r /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.0-1.4.2.0/
dangling: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.0-1.4.2.0/bin/jar -> ../../../../bin/fastjar-4.0

I installed fastjar 4.1 from experimental and therefore my system has
fastjar-4.1, not fastjar-4.0.  Why not make the link point to fastjar
(without version number) ?  This would make java-gcj-compat robust to
fastjar version changes.
