Description Katerina Odabasi 2015-02-05 14:29:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
With RHEL5 java-1.7.0-openjdk package doesn't contain in provides "java" (it contains only "java7*".
This breaks compatibility with packages from EAP channel which requires "java".

java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.75-2.5.4.0.el5_11

How reproducible:
always

Actual results:
# repoquery --provides --plugins java-1.7.0-openjdk
config(java-1.7.0-openjdk) = 1:1.7.0.75-2.5.4.0.el5_11
jaas7 = 1:1.7.0.75
java-1.7.0-openjdk = 1:1.7.0.75-2.5.4.0.el5_11
java7 = 1:1.7.0
java7-1.7.0 = 1:1.7.0.75-2.5.4.0.el5_11
java7-fonts = 1:1.7.0.75
java7-openjdk = 1:1.7.0.75-2.5.4.0.el5_11
java7-sasl = 1:1.7.0.75
...

Expected results:
The package also provides "java"

Comment 2 Deepak Bhole 2015-02-05 19:39:58 UTC

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 shipped it's last minor release, 5.11, on September 14th, 2014. On March 31st, 2017 RHEL 5 exited Production Phase 3 and entered Extended Life Phase. For RHEL releases in the Extended Life Phase, Red Hat  will provide limited ongoing technical support. No bug fixes, security fixes, hardware enablement or root-cause analysis will be available during this phase, and support will be provided on existing installations only.  If the customer purchases the Extended Life-cycle Support (ELS), certain critical-impact security fixes and selected urgent priority bug fixes for the last minor release will be provided.  For more details please consult the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle Page:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata

This BZ does not appear to meet ELS criteria so is being closed WONTFIX. If this BZ is critical for your environment and you have an Extended Life-cycle Support Add-on entitlement, please open a case in the Red Hat Customer Portal, https://access.redhat.com ,provide a thorough business justification and ask that the BZ be re-opened for consideration of an errata. Please note, only certain critical-impact security fixes and selected urgent priority bug fixes for the last minor release can be considered.
