 > Okay, installing openjdk-8-jdk does not make a difference. I attached
 the package list of the stretch machine I used. In fact, you have access
 to it, too, it's the TPO build machine. In case you want to make more
 elaborate queries to figure out what the important difference here is.

 I did a build without containers on build-sunet-a, with commit
 `069c880961e93fe2f5052ae6d428b2f9efdd1d4e`, after installing all the
 packages from comment 13, I have x86 and armv7 apk files matching the ones
 I built on an other machine with containers.

 Can you try to do an other build on this machine?

 Also, did you do alpha or nightly builds? In my case I did alpha builds,
 as it makes it easier to be sure both machines are using the same commits.

 This is the apk files that I get:
