Description Ian Young 2013-01-25 16:18:46 UTC 
Description of problem:

The new (in 5.9) java-1.7.0-openjdk package installs a jre whose bin/security/cacerts is no longer a file but a link to /etc/pki/java/cacerts, which does not exist.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.9-2.3.4.el5_9.1

Additional info:

Under 6.3 the same link is present in the bin/security directory, but the destination file is present courtesy of the ca-certificates package.  Unfortunately that package is not available in 5.9.
Comment 1 Ian Young 2013-01-25 19:58:07 UTC 
For bin/security, read lib/security throughout.

Sorry, long day...
Comment 2 jiri vanek 2013-01-30 13:23:42 UTC 
yap, this is redundant in spec file, should be removed:

  # Install cacerts symlink.
  rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_jvmdir}/%{jredir}/lib/security/cacerts
  pushd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_jvmdir}/%{jredir}/lib/security
    RELATIVE=$(%{abs2rel} %{_sysconfdir}/pki/java \
      %{_jvmdir}/%{jredir}/lib/security)
    ln -sf $RELATIVE/cacerts .
  popd
