Comment 2 Alexander Todorov 2011-11-23 09:26:15 UTC
I think this is the same issue as in bug #752493 (dbus) and caused by this RPM change:
* Mon Oct 31 2011 Panu Matilainen <pmatilai> - 4.4.2.3-25
- File conflicts correctness & consistency fixes (#740291)


Adding Panu to CC.

Comment 3 jiri vanek 2011-11-23 11:28:22 UTC
java-5-ibm have passed install tests in July, so this is probably rpm issue

Comment 4 Panu Matilainen 2011-11-23 12:02:12 UTC
This is a packaging bug, until now masked by RHEL-5 rpm being sloppy when conflicts occur with the same transaction - see bugs 740291 and 756330.

The .desktop file content differs between 32- and 64bit packages and trying to install them in separate transactions would have always caused conflicts. I haven't yet looked at the files in question, but chances are that the desktop launcher has been pointing to the secondary arch javaws because this.

Comment 7 Deepak Bhole 2011-11-29 14:55:04 UTC
The patch in comment #6 is the correct one. 

The one in comment #5 will cause problems if only the ppc64 version is installed.

Comment 8 Lukáš Zachar 2011-11-29 15:46:20 UTC
Build from comment #6 installs without any conflict. Also the .desktop file exists (and is correct) when only ppc64 version is installed.

Comment 11 Panu Matilainen 2011-12-07 08:28:38 UTC
FYI: the rpm fix has been reverted due to requiring changes to too many packages. So while removing the conflict in packaging is only a good thing, it's not required for RHEL 5.8.

Comment 12 Petr Šplíchal 2011-12-07 10:17:40 UTC
Are we still going to fix this when the rpm fix has been reverted?

Comment 13 jiri vanek 2011-12-07 10:21:57 UTC
ok then. The fix is commited. And is for good-of-things. This will be included in next release.
