[Bug 1302736] Re: apt 0.9.15.4ubuntu4 uninstalls ppa:webupd8team/java oracle-java[78]-installer

[Michael Vogt]

I agree with julian about the analysis. But I also think by providing a
versionized break/replaces we can make the experiences for the jdk users
smoother. The attached patch should ensure we replace the deprectated
apt while still keeping the java8 packages on the system (which is ok,
it does not contain a apt binary anymore).

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This morning's update to the "apt" package (0.9.15.4ubuntu4) adds sun-
  java6-jdk to the Breaks/Replaces list for apt.  This unfortunately
  creates a conflict with oracle-java7-installer / oracle-
  java8-installer from ppa:webupd8team/java, both of which "Provide"
  sun-java6-jdk:

  apt (0.9.15.4ubuntu4) trusty; urgency=low

    Cherry pick fixes from the apt 1.0 branch:

    [ Michael Vogt ]
    * add sun-java{5,6}-jdk to breaks/replaces as that provided a "apt"
      binary as well
