Bug#767771: icedtea-7-jre-jamvm: jamvm from 7u71-2.5.3-1 gives relocation errors

[Rogério Brito <rbrito@ime.usp.br>]

Package: icedtea-7-jre-jamvm
Version: 7u71-2.5.3-1
Severity: important

Hi.

I am trying to use any kind of Java Virtual Machine that is not the Zero VM
on PowerPC and, unfortunately, the package jamvm version 7u71-2.5.3-1 has a
serious regression: upon invoking `java -jamvm`, I get the following output:

$ java -jamvm
java: relocation error: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-powerpc/jre/lib/ppc/libjava.so: symbol JVM_FindClassFromCaller, version SUNWprivate_1.1 not defined in file libjvm.so with link time reference

Luckily, a reverting all the packages to version 7u65-2.5.2-4 make things
work again.

Is there any information else that I can provide so that we can have this
fixed for jessie?


Thanks,

Rogério Brito.
