During a test rebuild of ecj-ecj-2.1.3-5 in the mock builder, the following problem manifests itself: + find -name '*.class' -or -name '*.properties' -or -name '*.rsc' + xargs jar cf ../../../ecj-2.1.3.jar xargs: jar: No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.45084 (%build) The reason is, that the Required libgcj installs fastjar, but doesn't set up the correct symlink with the alternatives system. This is done by the java-$ver-compat package, which is not being installed. According to nasrat the best way of dealing with this issue is dropping the BuildRequires for gcc-java and libgcj and just setting a BuildRequire for java-$ver-compat, or even better the virtual java-devel package which is provided by the java-compat package. This will fix the alternatives problem and pull in gcj and libgcj as well. This bug is at least present in RHEL4, RHEL3, FC4, FC3 and current RawHide. Bugs were filed for these releases as well.
sorry, RHEL3 is not affected. copy-n-waste mistake
