Description:

I have installed extra/josm version 18721-1.

The script /usr/bin/josm is a debian-specific executable.

When I run `josm`, it fails with:

```
dpkg: no packages found matching openjdk-*-jre
dpkg: no packages found matching openjdk-*-jre:amd64
Using /usr/bin/java to execute josm.
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module javafx.web not found
```


Additional info:
* package version(s):
- josm: 18721-1
- dpkg: 1.21.22-1

Regards!

By the way, error could occur because /usr/bin/josm uses a debian-specific script; I think any dpkg related stuff should not occur on an Arch Linux system, and an own wrapper script should be provided (maybe the aur/josm-* packages can be an inspiration?).

No it isn't. It just happens to check for dpkg on your system. If you don't have it installed, it just issues a warning and harmlessly moves on. You can get josm working by following the advice here [1] which I've just verified (while having dpkg installed).
