> Root cause is that the test materializes and installs a policy by [obtaining the current policy](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/4be2173478bd1e84946bd903b350ce466bddb36b/test/jdk/sun/security/pkcs11/KeyAgreement/IllegalPackageAccess.java#L46). At the time it [tries to remove a provider](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/4be2173478bd1e84946bd903b350ce466bddb36b/test/jdk/sun/security/pkcs11/KeyAgreement/IllegalPackageAccess.java#L80), the materialized policy is used for an access check, due to some intricacies of the [java.security.Policy implementation](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/4be2173478bd1e84946bd903b350ce466bddb36b/src/java.base/share/classes/java/security/Policy.java#L293). This policy does not allow the removal of a provider.
