Uninstall default-jdk












4















I'm on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install. I did a sudo apt-get install default-jdk. Result:



java --version
openjdk 10.0.2 2018-07-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.1, mixed mode)


Now I did sudo apt-get purge default-jdk. Result:



java --version
openjdk 10.0.2 2018-07-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.1, mixed mode)


Why is OpenJDK still there?

          default-jdk in 18.04 has the following description:



          Description: Standard Java or Java compatible Development Kit
          This dependency package points to the Java runtime, or Java compatible
          development kit recommended for this architecture, which is
          openjdk-11-jdk for amd64.


          The results of apt-cache depends default-jdk are as follows:



          default-jdk
          Depends: default-jre
          Depends: default-jdk-headless
          Depends: openjdk-11-jdk


          The results of apt-cache rdepends default-jdk show that openjdk-11-jdk does not depend on default-jdk. default-jdk points to a Java runtime or Java compatible development kit, but uninstalling default-jdk does not uninstall either of these packages.



          To remove the packages installed by default-jdk, run the following command:



          sudo apt remove openjdk-11-jre-headless openjdk-11-jre openjdk-11-jdk-headless openjdk-11-jdk

          • oh I should add that in the meantime I have done a sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk (which has solved my actual problem which I haven't described). So maybe that's the reason why he keeps the jre11 packages despite an autoremove? Which would be weird because why would OpenJDK8 want to have those packages. Anyway, now I have both, default-jdk and openjdk-8-jdk. I switch between the two via sudo update-java-alternatives.

          oh I should add that in the meantime I have done a sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk (which has solved my actual problem which I haven't described). So maybe that's the reason why he keeps the jre11 packages despite an autoremove? Which would be weird because why would OpenJDK8 want to have those packages. Anyway, now I have both, default-jdk and openjdk-8-jdk. I switch between the two via sudo update-java-alternatives.
