Bug#335570: java-gcj-compat: Missing dependency - renders package unusable

[Wolfgang Baer <wbaer@gmx.de>]

Package: java-gcj-compat
Version: 1.0.41-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

trying /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/java gives me:

error spawning gij

Running with strace shows that the java binary assumes an
unversioned gij binary in /usr/bin

execve("/usr/bin/gij", ["./java"], [/* 39 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)

However java-gcj-compat only depends on gij-4.0 and not on the
/usr/bin/gij providing gij package.

Of course installing gij fixes the problem. So either the java
binary should be patched to look for /usr/bin/gij-4.0 or the
dependency should be updated to gij instead of gij-4.0

Regards,
Wolfgang
