What appears to be the actual issue is that there is a missing dependency on xml-commons-jaxp-1.3-apis, and that the latest version of that kit does not create all the symlinks it needs. Specifically 1) ant does not appear to require xml-commons-jaxp-apis 2) xml-commons-jaxp-apis-1.3-apis does not create all the necessary symlinks in /etc/alternatives and /usr/share/java for ant to work properly. Creating a symlink for /usr/share/javaxml-commons-apis.jar pointing to /usr/share/java/xml-commons-jaxp-1.3-apis-1.3.04.jar solves the problem, but is not presumably the wholly correct solution as it should go through /etc/alternatives in a symlink chain about 4 deep looking at a working installation.
