Filed on request of Thomas Fitzsimmons Description of problem: xml-commonas-apis when updated with rpm or yum ends up removing sun's jre package from the system. Specific scenario that I have tested and can reproduce: start with Sun's jre-1.5.0_02-fcs installed and xml-commons*-1.0-0.b2.6jpp_7fc installed update to xml-commons*-1.0-0.b2.6jpp_9fc via rpm or yum jre package is removed from the system Attached you'll find a log from one rpm -Uvh attempt: rpm -Uvh -vv xml-commons-apis-1.0-0.b2.6jpp_9fc.noarch.rpm xml-commons-1.0-0.b2.6jpp_9fc.noarch.rpm xml-commons-which-1.0-0.b2.6jpp_9fc.noarch.rpm 2> /tmp/rpm-xml-commons-install.log How reproducible: I can reproduce this with set of packages detailed above on demand. I have not tested the latest set of xml-commons-* packages yet. I have personally only tested on i686 system.
Created attachment 113725 [details] log of rpm -Uvh -vv of xml-commons-* packages showing jre package removal
Does anyone have even the slightest idea why this should be the case?
