Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2003-01-20 11:54:42 UTC

This was a bug in libgcj-3.2.1-1 which has since been fixed.
If you had 3.2.1-1 installed, you have to cure it by hand (e.g. by deletting
the problematic dir entries).

Comment 2 Mario Mikocevic 2003-01-20 12:03:04 UTC

_NOT_ quite ->

# rpm -e libgcj-3.2.1-1

ok, that went fine but ->

# rpm -qa | grep libgcj
libgcj-3.2.1-2
# rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs libgcj-3.2.1-2.i386.rpm
warning: libgcj-3.2.1-2.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 897da07a
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:libgcj                 ########################################### [100%]
install-info: menu item `grepjar' already exists, for file `(none)'
error: %post(libgcj-3.2.1-2) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

so error still exists ..

Even this does not work ->

# rpm -e gettext-0.11.4-5
# rpm -e libgcj-3.2.1-2  
# rpm -Uvh libgcj-3.2.1-2.i386.rpm              
warning: libgcj-3.2.1-2.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 897da07a

install-info: menu item `grepjar' already exists, for file `(none)'
error: %post(libgcj-3.2.1-2) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2003-01-20 12:06:12 UTC

But you haven't done the step I spoke about.
You have to edit /usr/share/info/dir by hand and remove the entries for grepjar,
jar and fastjar. Then everything will work again (as long as you don't
attempt to install the buggy libgcj-3.2.1-1 again).
