Public bug reported:

The openjdk-6b18 source package was introduced in earlier releases
specifically for the armel architecture because the newer releases of
openjdk/icedtea 6 were failing to build on armel. The binary packages
provided by the openjdk-6b18 are a subset of the same named packages
provided by the openjdk-6 package, just with an earlier version.

 In precise and oneiric, the version icedtea-6 has been fixed to allow
it to build (and works) on armel, and thus the binary packages from the
openjdk-6b18 source are superceded by the packages from the openjdk-6
6b23 source. Furthermore, the openjdk-6b18 package FTBFS on oneiric and
precise. These source packages should be pulled, at a minimum from
precise, and probably from oneiric as well (if possible).

** Affects: openjdk-6b18 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- Please remove openjdk-6b18 from precise, oneiric
+ Please remove openjdk-6b18 source from precise, oneiric
