Java won't work after install/upgrade
Last modified: 2013-08-05 08:45:05 EDT
This is related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979128 which was closed but the problem wasn't solved. Description of problem: Agter installing anew, or upgrading to Fedora 19, the command "java" is not found by the shell. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Allways. Tried on five different computers so farm using different installation methods. yum update didn't change the problem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install or upgrade a Fedora system to F19 2. Log in and open a shell 3. Try to run "java -version" or any other java command line Actual results: "java": Command not found Expected results: Normal output from the java command, which is installed by default. Additional info: This is a minor bug, but a big annoyance for anyone who uses java on Fedora. I saw the same issue initially on two diferent systems: one upgraded from F17 to F19 via fedup, another installed clean from live media. Both had yum -y update after installation. Both were 32-bit machines, I did not test on x86_64 yet. Later I tried other systems, installing from DVD, same results. :-( "java" is not on the classpath after install, altough java-1.7.0-openjdk comes installed by default. See [ I hope eveyone can understand this termina session even if it's in portuguese ]: [root@lgx200 ~]# java -version bash: java: Comando não encontrado... [root@lgx200 ~]# yum -y install java-1.7.0-openjdk icedtea-web Plugins carregados: langpacks, refresh-packagekit updates/19/i386/metalink | 1.8 kB 00:00:00 O pacote 1:java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25-2.3.10.4.fc19.i686 já está instalado em sua última versão O pacote icedtea-web-1.4-2.fc19.i686 já está instalado em sua última versão Nada a ser feito So I checked alternaives: root@lgx200 ~]# alternatives --config java Há 3 programas que oferecem "java". Seleção Comando ----------------------------------------------- *+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk/bin/java 2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java 3 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.i386/bin/java Indique para manter a seleção atual[+] ou digite o número da seleção: There was a default java configured, but there's nothing on the path specified by [1]: [lozano@lgx200 ~]$ ls /usr/lib/jvm/ java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0/ jre-1.5.0/ java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25.i386/ jre-1.5.0-gcj/ java-1.7.0-openjdk.i386/ jre-1.7.0-openjdk.i386/ jre/ jre-gcj/ I fixed this issue by running alternatives --config again, then choosing [3]. Now "java" works fine on the shell. I guess there should be no "/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk/bin/java" in alternatives, or this path should be a symlink to /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.i386/bin/java, in which case there shouldn't be this latest option in alternatives. Maybe the intent was to have 32-bit and 64-bit OpenJDK on the same machine, and allow the user to choose each one as the default java. Anyway, not having a default java on the system PATH is a serious regression. We are back to old fime tar.gz Java from Sun, having to setup the environment, something rpm packages are supposed to do by themselves.

There is still the problem. After updating to java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25-2.3.10.10.fc19, java is now broken on my system, as most the symlinks are on /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk , in /etc/alternatives. Choosing option 2 in: alternatives --config java : * 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java + 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25-2.3.10.10.fc19.x86_64/jre/bin/java returns an answer with: java -version, but the symlinks are all messed up If I install java-1.7.0-openjdk on a system that never installed java, it is ok, but not if there was already java installed.
a downgrade http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/java-1.7.0-openjdk/1.7.0.25/2.3.10.7.fc19/x86_64/ to: * java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25-2.3.10.7.fc19.x86_64 and * java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel-1.7.0.25-2.3.10.7.fc19.x86_64 fixes it If I try to install: * java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25-2.3.10.{9,10,11}.fc19.x86_64 * java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel-1.7.0.25-2.3.10.{9,10,11}.fc19.x86_64 It breaks almost all symlinks
Does https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25-2.3.12.3.fc19 help?
Yes. It helps. There is still these symlinks broken: * /etc/alternatives java_sdk_1.7.0_openjdk -> /usr/lib/jvm/%{sdklnk} java_sdk_1.7.0_openjdk_exports -> /usr/lib/jvm-exports/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25-2.3.10.11.fc19.x86_64 javadocdir -> /usr/share/javadoc/java-1.7.0-openjdk/api * /usr/lib/jvm java-1.7.0-openjdk -> /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.7.0_openjdk jre-1.7.0_openjdk -> /etc/alternatives/jre_1.7.0_openjdk javadocdir -> /usr/share/javadoc/java-1.7.0-openjdk/api * /usr/share/javadoc java -> /etc/alternatives/javadocdir But seeing alternatives --config java , switches now automatically from: *+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java to: * 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java + 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25-2.3.12.3.fc19.x86_64/jre/bin/java
