Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2012-03-28 19:59:02 UTC
This is going to take some changes to the core script as there's no way to whitelist a dir like this in config. Will bring it up upstream too.

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2012-04-15 19:57:38 UTC
upstream is working on a good fix for this. In the mean time I have a workaround I will commit and push out. 

RTKT_DIR_WHITELIST=/lib/java

Look for an update in a bit here.

Hard one to call, fixes the problem in i386.
Cause "no such dir" in x86_64

Comment 6 Kevin Fenzi 2012-04-17 13:24:08 UTC
Oops. Quite right. ;( 

I'll ask upstream for a better way around this... 

thank you for the testing.

At the moment, I just make "mkdir /usr/lib/java"  on the x86_64.

But the empty dir /usr/lib64/java cause no false flag.
