      Description

      Jenkins 2.54 started requiring Java 8 [1], but the 2.54 package in the Jenkins-provided Debian package repository [2] still depends on openjdk-7-jre-headless. This means that on distros that do not provide Java 8 the package will successfully update but fail to start.

            Jeroen Bogers As I have written above, you should create an INFRA ticket for it. This issue is not "just delete it", so it requires involvement of the INFRA team

            Just in case Dave Miller is a former coworker dealing with a machine I installed, the solution is as follows on an Ubuntu 14.04 machine (all as root):

             

            add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install openjdk-8-jre openjdk-8-jre-headless openjdk-8-jdk
apt-get remove --purge openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jre-headless openjdk-7-jdk
apt-get dist-upgrade

            And that should update jenkins to the latest released version.
