Issue with broken java8 install

[ghibble]

Issue... Oracle has ceased their website availability of version 8u151 whilst java 8u162 is current. But the oracle installer package for ubuntu still references 8u151.

This generates the following issue

Thanks for reporting this. Seems like this may be related even though it is referencing version 9. https://askubuntu.com/questions/996774/cannot-install-jdk-9-via-apt

Looks like Oracle may have broken some things!

[ahharu]

I worked around this by creating a custom module which scrapes Oracle's website and grabs the tar from there, and deploys java as standalone. So far so good, only drawback is that it requires "bs4" ( beautifulsoup )

[mrlesmithjr]

Nice.

[mrlesmithjr]

@ahharu Is this still an issue? I have not tested this since this was identified.

[ahharu]

@mrlesmithjr sure thing, still bombing
