[Bug 1515361] Re: Fop FTBFS on Ubuntu Xenial (synced version in -proposed)

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

flocculant: Hi, do you have an example build log? I thought that sounded
a bit odd since it looks like xubuntu-docs was last built with the
version of fop which is currently in the release archive, but I don't
know...

Sebastian: Did you mean me? I haven't filed a MIR request before, but I
can look into it.

Title:
  Fop FTBFS on Ubuntu Xenial (synced version in -proposed)

Status in fop package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  A newer version of fop was recently synced from Debian (bug 1511934).
  This failed to build with the following error message:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   sbuild-build-depends-fop-dummy : Depends: libbatik-java (>= 1.8) but it is not going to be installed
                                    Depends: libfontbox-java but it is not installable
                                    Depends: libmockito-java but it is not installable
                                    Depends: libxmlgraphics-commons-java (>= 2.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  This was a bit more than I had anticipated when I asked for it to be synced. To build the newer version, the various build dependencies will need to be sorted out. In corresponding order:
  1. Latest version of batik has been synced. (See bug 1512087).
  2. libfontbox-java belongs to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libpdfbox-java which is in Universe. I don't know whether this is optional or if it should be MIRed (and if that is the case, who makes the decision)
  3. Mockito is in Universe, and based on other packages usually skipped in order to prevent pulling Maven into Main. So most likely this package will regain an Ubuntu delta. Ah well :(
  4. xmlgraphics-commons has been merged now, so a newer version is available. (See bug 1515358 for details.)

  Points 1 and 4 have been resolved, but 2 and 3 remains as the harder
  parts.
