Bug Description

The current Java version available from Karmic's repository is Version 6 Update 15, but Version 6 Update 16 is out now, and it fixes a 'high priority' bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6862295 - I think it is important we get this update out before the final version of Karmic is released, so we can push the update while people update from Jaunty.

Strangely there is a newer version (6.16) in Jaunty updates but not in Karmic updates :

Actually, the Sun Java security baseline is version 6 u17, and there is even a newer version (6 u18) with improved performances, however no new security bug fix.
I would expect to have at least 6 u17, because it corrects a number of potential security holes.

The problem for me (on karmic) is that the JRE has alreardy updated to 6.16, and I can't install JDK for incompatibility as it is still at 6.15. (And I should have started development last week :( ).
I guess it may be a matter o days (hours?) --- am I too optimistic ?

chia

Well, meantime I just removed JRE and reinstalled JDK+JRE at 6.15 (I can wait later update).
Yet it is funny Junty is more up to date.

cheers,
