Today I installed Maven30-rhel-6 using these instructions:
 https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/mizdebsk/maven30-rhel-6/

That package installed successfully. I did this in case it was a requirement for the "rh-java-common" package.

Then I re-attempted to install the "rh-java-common" package described in the ticket but still resulted in the same problem.
I also attempted the re-install after enabling maven:
  sudo scl enable maven30 bash
But still no difference in the outcome originally described.

Note I used 'sudo' for the above commands but then tried the same with 'su' and saw no change.

Comment 3 Mikolaj Izdebski 2015-09-28 07:07:06 UTC

Confirmed - it is reproducible for me as well.

Comment 4 Mikolaj Izdebski 2015-09-28 07:38:32 UTC

The reason is simple - there is no rh-java-common package because this collection is not supposed to be installed directly. Installation instructions are incorrect.

Copr team: Can we remove steps 4 and 5 from installation instructions at https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/rh-java-common/ and add a note like: "This collection provides common components used by other collections and is not supposed to be installed directly by users."

Comment 5 Miroslav Suchý 2015-09-28 09:13:37 UTC

I can alter the change, but I would rather add there documentation how other collections should use it as well.

So how other collections should use it?

Comment 6 Mikolaj Izdebski 2015-09-28 13:31:20 UTC

I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you be more specific?

rh-java-common is just a set of various shared libraries and tools used by other collections. It was created to avoid package duplication between different SCLs - collections like maven30 or thermostat1 depend on packages from rh-java-common. Users shouldn't need to directly install any packages from rh-java-common (with exception of YUM repo definition package, which is not strictly part of rh-java-common, but it is provided in the same repo).

Text at https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/rh-java-common/ has been altered.

Comment 8 Mikolaj Izdebski 2015-09-29 07:06:10 UTC

Thank you, I'm closing this as resolved.
