Description of problem: The java plugin filename changed but alternative rules were not updated ; as a result it is no longer registered in firefox java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1:1.6.0.0-34.b17.fc13.x86_64 $ ls -l /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 41 19 févr. 10:49 /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 64 19 févr. 10:49 /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so $ rpm -ql java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaNPPlugin.so
Confirmed here. It seems the spec file had the new name of the file added to the list that alternatives uses, but that's not enough: as long as the old name is still listed, alternatives will continue to use it, even if the file doesn't exist: [root@adam F-13]# update-alternatives --display libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so - priority 16000 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaNPPlugin.so - priority 16000 Current `best' version is /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so. either the old name should be removed in %post, or the new name should be given a higher priority, I guess. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
workaround is 'update-alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so.x86_64' (or .i586 or something on 32-bit, I guess) and then pick the appropriate option (should be 2).
Hmm, odd. The IcedTeaPlugin.so alternative should have gotten removed during upgrade. Re-assigning to Fedora RPM owner.
deepak: I only glanced at the spec, but it looks like there's nothing there to remove the old name, that I could see anyway.
