Description Marian Ganisin 2013-10-18 07:59:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
javassist package lays in Optional repository on ppc64 and s390x. It has unresolved dependency on these architectures:

package: javassist-3.9.0-6.el6.noarch from Optional
  unresolved deps: 
     java >= 1:1.6.0

It does not seem to be big issue and probably not a bug at all. IBM implementation of java is available via Supplementary media and javassist is installable when supplementary repo is added. I successfully installed javassist with java-*-ibm, however I didn't test if it is working properly with this implementation of java.

This is bugreport for clarification whether this situation is expected/acceptable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
javassist-3.9.0-6.el6
Comment 2 Stanislav Ochotnicky 2013-10-21 11:44:24 UTC 
Indeed, javassist in optional for usage as Eclipse dependency. It's not otherwise supported. There will definitely be more noarch packages with the same unresolvable requires in Eclipse dependency chain.

Closing this as notabug
