Description of problem:

The latest redhat build of java-11-openjdk version, is missing a dependency on tzdata-java. This means that any java program using that timezone library will fail at runtime.

Older versions of java 11 all worked fine until this latest patch release. This has broken all current and historical releases of the database package I maintain, which itself depends on java 11.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1:11.0.20.0.8-2.el9

How reproducible:
Very! This will also affect any version of RHEL which has java-11-openjdk version 1:11.0.20.0.8-2.el9 in its packages repository. This is at least 8.6 and 8.8 that I've tested.

Steps to Reproduce:

dnf install -y java-11-openjdk
stat /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.20.0.8-2.el9.x86_64/lib/tzdb.dat
# this will show that tzdb.dat exists and is a link to /usr/share/javazi-1.8/tzdb.dat
stat /usr/share/javazi-1.8/tzdb.dat

Actual results:
stat: cannot statx '/usr/share/javazi-1.8/tzdb.dat': No such file or directory

Expected results:

stat /usr/share/javazi-1.8/tzdb.dat
  File: /usr/share/javazi-1.8/tzdb.dat
