[JENKINS-45932] Cannot update jenkins server 2.46.3 to latest
Fully agree with oleg_nenashev, the package needs Java 8 but your system is unable to resolve and install the required java 8 packages automatically
Yes, after JENKINS-45287 the package itself is not going to enforce any Java version but the server will not run unless is able to find a valid java 8 version in the system, is up to users to properly install a Java 8 runtime
Not a defect. Jenkins 2.60.1+ requires Java 8. So you have to install a whatever Java 8 package which provides the Java metapackage. If you use Oracle JDK or whatever custom deployment,
JENKINS-45287is going to change the Java discovery logic in next releases.
