My server is currently running on Debian Stretch:
Linux *** 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.144-3.1 (2019-02-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
I tried to install openjdk-11-jdk. This is not part of the stable Stretch. So I added backports to my sources according instructions:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main
The installing of the package failed to unavailable dependencies:
536:root:/opt# apt-get update
[...]
537:root:/opt# apt-get -t stretch-backports install "openjdk-11-jdk"
