Description Benjamin Ariel Nava Martinez 2014-01-28 01:36:55 UTC

Description of problem:
java and javac executables are missing after update from opendjk 1.7.0.60-2.4.4.0 to 1.7.0.60-2.4.4.1
Binary files do exist, but symlinks in the alternatives and bin folder are broken (along with a ton of other broken links)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
java-1.7.0-openjdk.1.7.0.60-2.4.4.1.fc20 x86_64

How reproducible:
There are tons of broken links inside the alternatives folder (along with the jre and jdk binaries)
A reinstall doesn't fix this issue.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install openjdk version 1.7.0.60-2.4.4.1.fc20
2.java and javac commands no longer exist
3.A reinstall doesn't fix this issue

Actual results:
No symlinks


Expected results:
Symlinks targeting binaries

Additional info:
Java based applications such as Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, and many more no longer work (properly or not at all)

Comment 1 Benjamin Ariel Nava Martinez 2014-01-28 07:28:14 UTC

I have to point out, that after a clean install and a complete update directly to version 1.7.0.60-2.4.4.1, this problem is not present.

Comment 2 jiri vanek 2014-01-28 17:03:30 UTC

The only case i can reproduce is duplicate to this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1049015

in short - once yo have more then one alternatives link (eg by installing proprietary blob, or by some error during previous updates [my apologise here]) *and* you have alterantives inmanual mode, then - and its new in f20 - the alternatives are not forced to be set after install. Can it be your case?

Comment 3 Benjamin Ariel Nava Martinez 2014-01-28 19:55:10 UTC

I'm pretty sure that was the case. I remember having update troubles due to selinux bugs, so maybe that's what broke my alternatives. Thanks!
