Source: openjdk-7
Version: 7u65-2.5.1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I got this when running apt-get dist-upgrade today on jessie:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-7-jdk_7u65-2.5.1-2_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The upgrade works fine when I remove openjdk-7-source.  --> I do think
that this should be handled more gracefully, as this leads to a broken
upgrade which leads to the current kernel not booting ;-)

I was told on debian-java that this is an RC bug, so I put in severity
'grave', I hope that's correct. I can upload the whole "apt-get
dist-upgrade" transcript, but it looks unsuspicious except for the
above.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Felix
