Bug#560099: edos-distcheck: Fails to detect uninstallability of some java packages

[Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>]

Package: edos-distcheck
Version: 1.4.2-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

it looks like some installability issues are not caught and packages
don't end up in BD-Uninstallable state but are tried, and FTBFS.

See for example: #559986, #560072

The java issue has been reported in #560093

As I said in my mail to -wb-team@[1], it might be that edos is figuring
out a solution apt-get can't think of, but maybe edos is just failing to
analyze some dependencies and conflicts properly?

Since I'm not sure what's going on, I'm opening this bugreport.

Mraw,
