Ah I see. it expects to see some details on the filename of the abcl main jar which turns out to not be true here so fails to detect the path for the main .jar and sequently the -contrib .jar

CL-USER(6): (java:dump-classpath)

[Christoph Egger]

And again so one can actually read it

[Christoph Egger]

OK this is how I fixed it for me.

Complies with best-practice for versioning of pre-release software in Debian combined with policy on how to name the .jar files

(In [14232]) Fixes #261: ABCL-CONTRIB finding logic widened to Debian packaging conventions.

Thanks for Christoph.
