SITools2 Installation on Debian 9¶

For maintenance reasons (especially system updates), we test the installation of SITools2 on the last version of debian (Stretch which is currently not yet stable).
To be reproduced on the SITools2 VMs...

Installation of openjdk-7¶

SITools2 is incompatible with Java 8
We have to install Java 7. The procedure is a little bit tricky cause the openjdk-7 package doesn't exist for Debian 9.

cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# deb http://inf-mirror/debian/ stretch main

deb http://inf-mirror/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://inf-mirror/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.caliu.cat/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.caliu.cat/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main

In order to resolve the libjpeg8 problem, we have to install the sid version, here :
https://packages.debian.org/fr/sid/amd64/libjpeg8/download

dpkg -i libjpeg8_8d1-2_amd64.deb

aptitude install openjdk-7-jdk
