Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) OS: Linux The pdftk application has package dependencies on gcj and openjdk-6-jre-headless, amongst others. This is a problem because: 1. I want only a single JVM installed. 2. The GCJ and OpenJDK have known bugs and deficiencies (e.g., low quality default fonts). 3. I already have a JVM installed. The JVM is installed in $JAVA_HOME, and the 'java' executable (within $JAVA_HOME/bin) is on the PATH. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ sudo aptitude install pdftk Actual Results: The following NEW packages will be installed: ca-certificates-java{a} default-jre{a} default-jre-headless{a} gcj-4.4-base{a} gcj-4.4-jre-lib{a} icedtea-6-jre-cacao{a} libaccess-bridge-java{a} libaccess-bridge-java-jni{a} libbcmail-java{a} libbcmail-java-gcj{a} libbcprov-java{a} libgcj-bc{a} libgcj-common{a} libgcj10{a} libgnuinet-java{a} libgnujaf-java{a} libgnumail-java{a} libitext-java{a} libitext-java-gcj{a} openjdk-6-jre{a} openjdk-6-jre-headless{a} openjdk-6-jre-lib{a} pdftk Expected Results: The following NEW packages will be installed: pdftk The PDF Toolkit installation should detect whether Java is already installed. I spent about 15 minutes weaving my way through the KDE/Kubuntu/Ubuntu bug lists to find an appropriate location. I could not, so I have posted it here in the hopes that someone more knowledgeable will know where this bug belongs.
