unable to locate package openjdk-11-jdk debian 12

Why is Debian unable to locate package openjdk-16-jre-headless?

unix.stackexchange.com › questions › 684482 › why-is-debian-unable-to-locate-package-openjdk-16-jre-headless

apt can’t locate openjdk-16-jre-headless because the OpenJDK 16 packages aren’t available in any Debian release.

The only release available to you in Debian 10 is OpenJDK 11. Debian 11 has OpenJDK 17. Both of these are releases with long-term support.

r/debian on Reddit: Need Help: Installing OpenJDK-11 on Debian 12

June 21, 2023 -

I recently upgraded my Debian version to the shiny new Debian 12, and I'm currently facing a small hiccup while trying to install OpenJDK-11. I'm aware that the apt install default-jdk command usually does the trick, but in this case, it installs version 17 of OpenJDK. Unfortunately, I specifically need JDK 11 for my project.

I successfully used apt install default-jdk in Debian 11 without any issues, so I'm wondering if there have been any changes in Debian 12 that require a different approach for installing OpenJDK-11. I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could kindly guide me through the correct steps to install OpenJDK-11 on Debian 12.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Looks like 11 was removed from bookworm. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=OpenJdk-11&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all You can install the version from bullseye somewhat manually, though that is generally not recommended, but I prefer doing that over installing from source. You could try grabbing individual debs from the website, or include the bullseye repo and see what happens. I don't know if there are incompatibilities that will force you to use a flatpack or other packaging system to keep things separate.

Its removed in bookworm but its in unstable as well as in oldstable. For using in bookworm i would pull it from unstable, eg. add unstable to the sources.list and pin it down https://packages.debian.org/openjdk-11

r/debian on Reddit: Problem installing openjdk-11-jdk

September 6, 2023 -

I am trying to install Ghidra on a newly spun up Debian machine. When I run sudo apt-get install -y openjdk-11-jdk it fails with E: Unable to locate package openjdk-11-jdk. When I run java -version, it says I am running version 16.0.1. How do i revert to the openjkd-11? Or is something else going on that's wrong?

What Debian version? Bookworm ships openjdk-17-jdk. 11 was in buster. As to why you're running a v16 JRE, no idea, you likely have some JRE in the path or installed some weird package from outside the Debian repositories. Running which java should at least give you a hint.

Have you tried using SDKMAN instead of the apt package. This is a pretty common approach to SDK/JDK management these days. Although, you'd have to check if 11 is still supported by the installer.

openjdk-16-jre-headless isn't packaged on Debian. You have to use openjdk-11-jre-headless, it can be installed after enabling the security repository.

Java and debian.

I had this error while building a Dockerfile. The solution was to install default-jre instead:

I can't see an entry for the stretch/main repository in your apt policy output which is needed to install the libgif7 package.

Try this:

add the main repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
```
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stretch main
```

then run

apt-get update
apt-get -t stretch-backports install openjdk-11-jdk

You are on Debian 10 (buster), but the link you showed is for Debian 9 (stretch).

OpenJDK is on version 11 for Buster and OpenJDK 8 is not available.

https://packages.debian.org/buster/openjdk-11-jdk

If you need this, use a docker image based on Stretch.

Apparently Debian 10 alias Buster only provides openjdk 11 packages.

In my case this meant using debian 9 alias stretch instead. I must admit it wasn't very clever using latest as a version in the first place.

before:

FROM debian:latest

after:

FROM debian:stretch

Debian stretch is a LTS version supported until 06.2022

You have two alternatives:

Manually download the .tar.gz file for Oracle Java SE Development Kit 8 from the official Oracle website, and compile it by following the instructions in How do I install a .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2) file?.
Install Java 7 from the default Debian jessie repositories.
```
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
```

The default Java JDK package is openjdk-8-jdk in Debian stretch and openjdk-11-jdk in buster.

Oracle is no longer maintaining OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11. Red Hat is providing bug fixes and security patches for OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11, taking over from Oracle. If you are using OpenJDK from the default Debian repositories, Oracle's license cancellation doesn't matter at all because Debian will continue to support their Java packages the same way they support every other package in their repositories.

r/debian on Reddit: Why can’t I install OpenJDK 21 on debian:bookworm?

May 26, 2025 -

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Debian-based images for most of my Docker containers without issues, but I recently ran into a strange problem. I’m trying to install openjdk-21-jre on debian:bookworm-slim, but I keep getting an “unable to locate package” error.

After some digging, I realized that the default Bookworm repositories only go up to JDK 17, even though Bookworm is the latest stable Debian release. However, when I switched to debian:sid (unstable), I was suddenly able to install OpenJDK 21 via apt with no problem.

I know that Sid is considered unstable, so I’m hesitant to use it in production. Can someone explain why this works this way? And more importantly, what’s the best approach to use OpenJDK 21 in production with Docker? Should I rely on debian:sid, or is there a cleaner or safer way to get JDK 21 while staying on debian:bookworm-slim?

Thanks in advance!

What do you need to explain? As you already mentioned, openjdk 21 is not in bookworms repositories. There's nothing to explain, it's not there. Case closed. It's in Trixie that's gonna be new stable soon enough, you can use that.

I'm not sure there's a "correct" way, other than a container or a VM, which have their own limitations. I tested adding bullseye (Debian 11) to /etc/apt/sources.list and installing openjdk-11-jdk, and it seems to work. I'm not a Java developer, though, and can't test if it's properly set up. java --version looks right. deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main There's also a distribution of OpenJDK called "Temurin" that might work. https://adoptium.net/installation/linux/

Debian is a point-release distribution. Version 11 has java11, version 12 updated it to java17. You won't be able to install version 11 from official repositories (unless there is a backward compatible package - what did apt search show you?).
