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.

I have attached the jenkins.wrapper.log and jenkins.err.log files. Jenkins was installed by somebody else who is no longer with our company, so I "inherited" the setup. It was installed as a service that gets automatically started every time that server is rebooted. I know that server does have Java 8 on it.
C:\>java -version
java version "1.8.0_74"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_74-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.74-b02, mixed mode)
If different logs are needed, please let me know.
