Dear All,
I think there is something wrong with rJava on any Debian based
distribution.
I may be wrong, but I experiencing exactly the problems mentioned at

https://github.com/amattioc/SDMX/issues/130

and at

https://github.com/s-u/rJava/issues/110

A couple of packages (RJSDMX and xlsx) are now impossible to install
on my debian stretch platform running R 3.4.

It seems I am not the only one experiencing this and it may be due to
some security patches just released.
However, if I run on my machine

> library(rJava)
> .jinit()

I get a segmentation fault, though I was able to install rJava, it
does not seem to work properly.
Does anyone have a fix for that?
Many thanks

Lorenzo
