Research direction

Start by reading the role's Java installation tasks and identify where required Ubuntu packages are declared. Check how multiarch packages are handled, then verify that installing the role provides libxtst6:i386 and prevents the reported Oracle Java exception.

Description

Enhancement

Possibly a reincarnation of this bug.

Oracle Java sometimes will throw exceptions in use if the 32-bit version of libxtst6 cannot be found; this doesn't happen on desktop Ubuntu installs, as there's an assistive technology library that depends on it.

To install, multiarch support must be enabled:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libxtst6:i386
