Hello,

This package fails to build from source and thus should be removed from unstable as well as its reverse dependencies:

Hi Luke,

This bug is a duplicate of #1011492 [1], but filed against the binary
package instead of src:tika.  They should be (force) merged.

If you want to file a bug to remove the package from unstable, the bug
should filed against the ftp.debian.org pseudo-package as documented in
[2].

Alternatively, you could work on updating Tika to a newer version.
Upstream is is active [3].

Thanks,
tony

Hi,

https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/tika/-/merge_requests/1 fixes both:

- #1109169: debian/maven.rules still maps jhighlight to com.uwyn, but
  libjhighlight-java 1.1.0 installs org.codelibs.
- #1011492: after that, 56 errors against POI 4.1.1. I backported
  upstream's fix (TIKA-2851, in 1.23).

tika builds again with it. The open CVE bugs need a new upstream version
and are not touched here.

Thanks,
Juan
