[Brian Murray]

openjdk-8 (8u121-b13-4) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Drop Recommends on obsolete GNOME libraries so they are not in a
     default GNOME desktop installation (Simon McVittie). Closes: #850268.
     - sun.net.spi.DefaultProxySelector prefers libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.24)
       over obsolete libgconf2-4.
     - sun.nio.fs.GnomeFileTypeDetector prefers libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.24)
       over libgnomevfs-2-0.
     - sun.xawt.awt_Desktop prefers libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.14) over
       libgnomevfs2-0.

Title:
  openjdk should stop recommending gconf and other deprecated gnome2
  stuff

Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in openjdk-8 source package in Zesty:
  Fix Released
Status in openjdk-8 package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  gconf has been deprecated for years and is not used in the Unity or
  GNOME desktops. Whatever settings openjdk is trying to look up there
  are probably invalid.

  Also, openjdk is just about the only thing (see also LP: #1667195) pulling several other deprecated libraries into main:
  gnome-vfs
  libbonobo
  libbonoboui
  libgnomecanvas
  libgnomeui

  Since all of these are merely recommends, it doesn't seem like they're
  even required.

  Debian has a patch for this and analysis. See
  https://bugs.debian.org/850268

  The only other thing using gconf in zesty main is emacs25, fixed in
  zesty-proposed (LP: #1669138)
