[Bug 1877000] Re: openjfx is missing native libraries for webkit and media

[Paul Gotch]

It would be really useful if this  fix was back ported in to focal, the
packages from groovy don't install on focal as they require a newer
version of libc than is in focal.

I came across this bug while trying to use O365Interative authentication
for davmail and it basically blocks this usage of that package until
this is fixed.

Title:
  openjfx is missing native libraries for webkit and media

Status in openjfx package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in openjfx source package in Focal:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  OpenJFX's media and webkit native libraries are missing from amd64 builds in Focal and Groovy. This is a regression from Bionic.

  This prevents applications that depend on these libraries from working
  correctly.

  [Test Case]
  The libjfxmedia.so and libjfxwebkit.so should be present in the libopenjfx-jni binary for all archs.

  One can see in the amd64 package listing for Focal [1,2] and Groovy
  [3,4] that libjfxmedia.so and libjfxwebkit.so are only available on
  arm64, armhf, ppc64el, and s390x.

  [1] https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libjfxmedia.so&mode=exactfilename&suite=focal&arch=any
  [2] https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libjfxwebkit.so&mode=exactfilename&suite=focal&arch=any
  [3] https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libjfxmedia.so&mode=exactfilename&suite=groovy&arch=any
  [4] https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libjfxwebkit.so&mode=exactfilename&suite=groovy&arch=any

  Another possible test case is running pdfsam in the console to split a PDF file (after pdfsam bug 1887142 is fixed) and look if errors as:
  Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jfxmedia in java.library.path: [/usr/java/packages/lib, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni, /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, /usr/lib/jni, /lib, /usr/lib]
  show up in the stdout. A sound should be played if everything works.

  [Regression Potential]
  Enabling the native libraries will allow applications to use them again.
  * This can trigger errors in applications that hidden by the fact that there were no native libraries to use.
  * This can cause applications that use OpenJFX to fail to run or crash during runtime.
  It is unlikely that autopkgtest will detect such errors given that OpenJFX _did_ migrate when the native libraries were missing (and that should have caused errors).

  [Other Info]

  [Original Report]
  I'm trying to run BlueJ on Ubuntu 20.04 (fresh install), while the main app runs the editor refuses to start, looking at its logs apparently it can't find jfxwebkit. So I tried to search for it, and apparently it is present in the other architectures for Focal as well as all architectures in Eoan, Bionic and Xenial in the libopenjfx-jni package, but not for Focal amd64. The version of openjfx I have is 11.0.7+0-2ubuntu1. I have also attached BlueJ's log for reference.
