Package: openjdk-8-jdk
Version: 8u131-b11-1~bpo8+1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I was looking for a jdk to install, so I picked the latest jdk.

msoulier@cappuccino:~$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openjdk-8-jdk : Depends: openjdk-8-jre (= 8u131-b11-1~bpo8+1) but it is not
going to be installed
                 Depends: openjdk-8-jdk-headless (= 8u131-b11-1~bpo8+1) but it
is not going to be installed


so I can't install it, and it is not clear how I might install it beyond not
using the debian packages.
