[solved] tzdata Upgrade Will Remove Pkgs

[KrunchTime]

same by me.

holding tzdata helps, thx for the clue!

how did you make out these dependencies?

In this situation, the tzdata-java package marked for removal and the tzdata upgrade were the clues.  After I placed tzdata on hold, then the packages that were going to be removed, did not show to be removed when I dist-upgraded again.


@towo:  Thank you for the bug report link.


@melmarker:  I believe LibreOffice uses OpenJDK in some capacity.  That's why I opted not to allow the removal.

libreoffice recommend default-jre | openjdk-8-jre | openjdk-7-jre | openjdk-6-jre | gcj-jre | sun-java5-jre | sun-java6-jre | java5-runtime | jre,

i would suggest to go with default-jre in case one dont need oracle-jave. I would hereby suggest to let java 7 go and use java 8, it is old enough now.
