Description of problem: This problem was seen in QA testing of the Application Stack; an install of EAP 4.2 pulls in classpathx-jaf. An install of EAP 4.3 pulls in glassfish-jaf. The two packages conflict, so upgrading from 4.2 to 4.3 doesn't work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): classpathx-jaf-1.0-9jpp.1 glassfish-jaf-1.1.0-0jpp.ep1.12.el5.1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. clean install RHEL5 2. subscribe to EAP 4.2 channel 3. # yum install classpathx-jaf 4. subscribe to EAP 4.3 channel in place of 4.3 channel 5. # yum install glassfish-jaf Actual results: Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/java/activation.jar from install of glassfish-jaf-1.1.0-0jpp.ep1.12.el5.1.noarch conflicts with file from package classpathx-jaf-1.0-9jpp.1.i386 Expected results: upgrade succeeds Additional info:
I checked the latest jbossas rpm for both EAP 4.2 and 4.3, on RHEL 5, we don't have that Requires: on neither classpathx-jaf nor glassfish-jaf in there. It's probably pulled in as an indirect dependency. What commands do you use for installation, "yum install jbossas"?
Yes, "yum install jbossas". The dependency change is: --> Processing Dependency: jbossws >= 2.0.1-3.SP2_CP06 for package: jbossas --> Processing Dependency: glassfish-jaf for package: jbossws
I think we need to fix the jbossws package to include the jar instead of requiring the glassfish-jaf package, similar to what we do in the jbossas package on RHEL-5.
It is actually a wrong code in classpathx-jaf creating of the activation.jar alternatives link that causes all these problems. It is now became urgent that we fix classpathx-jaf as it is interfering with the installation of the EAP 5.1.0 on RHEL-5. That requires the installation of the glassfish-jaf package, which fails due to this conflict, so we have to ask the customer to remove tomcat5 and eclipse. Our tomcat5 5.5.23 including the one in RHEL is being tested against the javamail JAR in glassfish-javamail, so installing that package with the product and switching altermatives works and has been QAed as part of the EWS 1.0.1 product.
