Packages shouldn't be specifying epochs in their Requires fields, and the package in question comes from an external source. The best I can do is to update the other 1.5.0 JDK's epochs to 1 as I release other updates for them, so that all the java virtual provides have the same epochs. (In reply to comment #4) > Proposed to rhel-4.7 fast. Why, why, why oh why? Satellite 5.1 uses java-epoch-bridge and is happy with the solution. No action is needed on the side of java packages. I propose this bug to be closed as THIS_IS_NOT_PROBLEM_AFTER_ALL. |
