If you click on the links for the binary packages, they will lead you to download links for the deb packages. openjdk-8 is still listed there as available for unstable (as version 8u312-b07-1). 8u312-b07-1 (and other older versions) is also available.Īlternatively you can access the Debian tracking page for the package at. Whether it works or not depends on the library versions that it was built against. The last available version is 8u322-b06-1~deb9u1, logged at You can download the binary packages (.deb) for your architecture and install with sudo dpkg -i *.deb. That should be irrelevant, though.Ĭopies of past Debian packages are available at IDK why it requires that, but I had to use the advanced install to enable the removable flag.

*My hypervisor requires that grub-install has the -removable flag when using UEFI. Should I just add the Stretch repos to my sources.list? They advise against doing that, so what is the proper way to get Java 8? So how should I install the OpenJDK 8 JRE in Bullseye? I want to use Bullseye, as it is stable, not Stretch. Interestingly, it is there in Debian Stretch. and it isn't there (I'm using Bullseye/11 - the current stable release). ĭeb bullseye-security main contrib non-freeĭeb-src bullseye-security main contrib non-free If it helps, here is my /etc/apt/sources.list file. However the following packages replace it:Į: Package 'openjdk-8-jre' has no installation candidate This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or Package openjdk-8-jre is not available, but is referenced to by another package. Here's what I did to install it: $ sudo apt update I installed Debian 11, and used an advanced installation due to a hypervisor bug*. I need to install the Java 8 JRE, from OpenJDK. That answer mentions that you can get it from the Stretch repos, but I don't want to create a Franken-Debian, so I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. This VM is solely dedicated to my Java app, so I'm not really interested in using a container. I'm not interested in the reason, instead, I need to install it.
