openjdk-7 broken packages on ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Asked by Battant

Hello,

Here is my configuration :
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04
uname -a
Linux mparchet-W240EU-W250EUQ-W270EUQ 4.4.0-18-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 6 14:01:02 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
package affected :

apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jre
openjdk-7-jre:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 7u95-2.6.4-1
  Version table:
     7u95-2.6.4-1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.csg.uzh.ch/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages

The install result :
apt-get --simulate install openjdk-7-jre
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
      apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

openjdk-7 is no more provided with Ubuntu xenial, see also Bug #1563986

I am astonished to see this package still offered by your repository server, This might be another indication that that repository server has got problems and is not up-to-date.
I strongly advice that you select a different repository server.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Battant for more information if necessary.
