Package: openjdk-6-jre-lib
Version: 6b18-1.8.2-1
Severity: serious

openjdk-6-jre-lib is currently not removeable on sid.  this may be
because openjdk-6-jre-headless depends on openjdk-6-jre-lib
(>= ${source:Version} and openjdk-6-jre-lib depends on
openjdk-6-jre-headless (>= ${base:Version}).  i get the following
errors when trying to remove the packages:


$ sudo apt-get purge openjdk-6-jre-lib
