In fedora 44, when I try to install icedtea-web from dnf, it gives an error about the openjdk version not being compatible. Is this a packaging issue or am I missing something?
Snippet from output:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides java-21-openjdk needed by icedtea-web-1.8.8-11.fc44.x86_64 from fedora
Java-21-openjdk is available for f43 but f44 provides java-25-openjdk.
One possible solution would be to install java-21-openjdk from f43 then install icetea-web. sudo dnf install java-21-openjdk --releasever=43 may work for you.
This looks like a dependency issue for icetea-web that should be reported to the maintainer, possibly a bug report on either bugzilla or to github. Icetea-web may work with java-25-openjdk if it were not locked to java-21-openjdk by the dependency.
