Bug Description

My JOGL applications stopped working on Ubuntu 20.04 - with the following error/exception: "Profile GL4bc is not available on X11GraphicsDevice".
(I am using the Intel GPU of a Core i5-7600)

In the jogamp forum, someone posted the same problem: http://forum.jogamp.org/Crash-after-latest-mesa-driver-update-from-ppa-oibaf-td4040300.html

The suggested to solution to use the Jogl 2.4.0 release candidate also works on my system.

(I would suggest to switch to 2.4.0 RC, as 2.3.2 does not work at all here; of course, we could also try to identify the required patch)

Notably, JOGL initially worked on my Ubuntu 20.04 installation. Some update seems to have broken it (I only have official Ubuntu package repositories enabled, no PPAs whatsoever)

We can observe similar problems on Bionic (18.04), except that the missing profile is GL3bc and not GL4bc. I'm assuming the root cause is the same. Impish is also affected, I haven't had the chance to check Hirsute.

This is reported as a regression in 20.04 post-release, however neither of the packages listed as affected by this bug have been updated in focal. This needs someone to identify which package changing introduces the regression.
