Bad status information:  "Status in geogebra package in Ubuntu: Fix 
Released", ... because it is NOT fixed, the error is still there:

May 23, 2018 1:56:45 PM
STDERR: java.lang.ClassCastException: 
java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader cannot be cast 
to java.base/java.net.URLClassLoader

While accordint to the suggested 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates 
description, "2. When  2.1. High-impact bugs  ...  Bugs which represent 
severe regressions from the previous release of Ubuntu.  This includes 
packages which are totally unusable, like being uninstallable or crashing 
on startup.  ...".

Since the Geogebra fails to start successfully, I think this is a 
"High-impact bug", ... what can not wait until 18.10 --- espcially if the 
fix in Debian is already released.

I would be happy to know, how to import a bug fix from Debian to Ubuntu, 
but I have no kind of experience in handling official release packages.

Reading fully the suggested https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
description, I have still NO IDEA how to do it.

What is faster, either to show me how I could do it, or to do it without 
me?

Anyways, I thank for everybody, who collectively give us the free 
softwares as a high quality present.
