--- Comment #2 from Thierry Thomas <thierry@FreeBSD.org> ---
Bouncycastle 1.83 broke pdktk, which is unmaintained upstream since 22 sept.
2022.
And we should even upgrade it to the latest, to resolve several
vulnerabilities, see
https://www.bouncycastle.org/resources/new-releases-bouncy-castle-java-1-84-and-bouncy-castle-java-lts-2-73-11/
My knowledge of Java is outdated, and I don't know how to fix this issue, but I
can see two possibilities:
1) Do not try to build it, but download pre-built jars:
https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/5024297/packages/generic/pdftk-java/v3.3.3/pdftk-all.jar
is available.
2) Extract the ancient bouncycastle source under ${WRKSRC}java/org/bouncycastle
and fix the paths to use it.
Cc: java@, because they might have better ideas.
