Major Description
The failures look like so - for the ubuntu-trusty builder:
...

Gradle is a build system written in Groovy. It uses Groovy
also as the language for its build scripts. It has a powerful
multi-project build support. It has a layer on top of Ivy
that provides a build-by-convention integration for Ivy. It
gives you always the choice between the flexibility of Ant
and the convenience of a build-by-convention behavior.' opt
corefines: Your Ruby doesn't support refinements, so I'll fake them using plain monkey-patching (not scoped!).

The failure snipped above in particular installs openjdk-8-jre:amd64 (8u91-b14-0ubuntu4~14.04).
I cannot repro on debian-jessie, which is only at 8u72-b15-1~bpo8+1 on a fresh re-build and uses its own backports repo with likely different deb provides mutation policies.
