Bug Description

Binary package hint: eclipse

Eclipse (3.5.1-0ubuntu5_i386) won't start, even after deleting workspaces and .eclipse and reinstalling JDKs.

The log file at .eclipse says:

----------

Just noticed the package libequniox-osgi-java (3.5.1-0ubuntu4_i386) is 2.0 MiB whereas the libequinox-osgi-java (3.5.1-0ubuntu5_i386) is just 31.5 KiB.
Tried to install eclipse 3.5.1-0ubuntu5 with the libequinox-osgi-java 3.5.1-0ubuntu4 and it started up fine.

---------------
eclipse (3.5.1-0ubuntu6) karmic; urgency=low

  * Correct misspelt package in debian/rules, too (LP: #454616).

Don't you test on a clean install before release?

Normally, yes. This time I only tested the build, because I was tired and wanted to go to bed. ;)
