Description Fred New 2005-06-14 19:30:16 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
I am unable to install Sun's jre-1.5.0_03-fcs RPM because of dependency problems with openoffice.org-core and jessie.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openoffice.org-core-1.9.104-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install FC4 with openoffice.org-core-1.9.104-2 and jessie-1.0.0-8
2. Attempt to install Sun's jre-1.5.0_03-fcs (i586) RPM.  

Actual Results:  # rpm -Uvh jre-1_5_0_03-linux-i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        java >= 0:1.4 is needed by (installed) jessie-1.0.0-8.noarch
        java-1.4.2-gcj-compat is needed by (installed) openoffice.org-core-1.9.104-2.i386
#

Expected Results:  # rpm -Uvh jre-1_5_0_03-linux-i586.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:jre                    ########################################### [100%]
#

Additional info:

Workaround:  Install j2re-1_4_2_08-linux-i586.rpm from Sun.

I spoke too soon about  j2re-1.4.2_08 - I can't get its plugin to work in
Firefox.  So it doesn't look like there is a workaround for this problem, unless
the open source java can provide a secure plugin.

Comment 2 Caolan McNamara 2005-06-14 23:05:07 UTC
well our Ooo is built against libgcj and requires that, though that said I think
it might not be necessary to Require java-1.4.2-gcj-compat. I'll see if we can
drop that Require.

This is documented in the release notes.

"Fedora Core 4 users are advised not to use the Java RPM provided by Sun..."

Oops. I was thinking I had probably missed something. It's fine with me if this
is closed as NOTABUG.
