[Bug 1291976] Re: installing LO 4.2.1 installs also outdated openjdk-6-jre

[Christopher Chavez]

The package libreoffice has been dependant on default-jre (e.g. through libreoffice-base) and not any specific openjdk version. default-jre, for 12.10 and more recent, now depends on openjdk-7-jre (unsure as of when), so this issue should be resolved, although it was not a libreoffice issue to begin with.
However, I think that if openjdk-6-jre is already installed by something else, libreoffice will not require default-jre (and not openjdk-7-jre either).

Title:
  installing LO 4.2.1 installs also outdated openjdk-6-jre

Status in “java-common” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Today i installed a new machine with Trusty beta1.

  Afterwards i installed LibreOffice meta package via Synaptics and had to install also OpenJDK-6-JRE as an dependency.
  This happens always if in Synaptic the recommended packages is ON (which is standard, i think).

  So please change the dependency from OpenJDK-6-JRE at least to
  OpenJDK-7-JRE cause it is now standard.

  .

  Xubuntu 14.04
  LibreOffice 4.2.1
