...

From my experience I found out:

1.) After manual installation of rpm using command "zypper install java-1_6_0-sun", the symlinks in /etc/alternatives are handled correctly and they point to a new jre. 2.) After updating system using command "zypper update", the symlinks are broken as described above. I expect, that the problem is caused by using delta rpm instead of "full" rpm package. Michael, what do you think about this?

It performs: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/browser-plugins/javaplugin.so javaplugin /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so 1503 which with --verbose gives: 1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so 1503 Checking available versions of javaplugin, updating links in /etc/alternatives .. (You may modify the symlinks there yourself if desired - see `man ln'.) Automatic updates of /etc/alternatives/javaplugin are disabled, leaving it alone. To return to automatic updates use `update-alternatives --auto javaplugin'. After setting /etc/alternatives/javaplugin back to "auto" mode updating the symlink with the postinstall script works for me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334783#c29 --- Comment #29 from Thomas Schmidt 2007-10-23 04:21:22 MST --- The problem with --auto is, that after the online update, the user would no more be using his configured program, but the default one.

In my previous testing, I'd forgot to try "indirect update" (1_6_0.u1 -> 1_6_0.u3.01 -> 1_6_0.u3.03). In these case, there's a problem with unnecessary switch to a manual mode and I don't know why. According to the update-alternatives manual, there is only one way how to switch it - using parameter --config - but this manual configuration is not (and cannot be) used in post* scriptlets. May I upload my test script and a log to the westernhagen.suse.de? Or they're avaliable on my machine - zelva.suse.cz (standard root password) in /root/java-test. I don't know how to solve that problem correctly. The only idea is to write a workaround script to switch links status if they points to "bad" path and are in a manual state. But I'm afraid that the postun scriplet of 1_6_0.u3.03 will remove out these links from a system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I've submitted a new packages for java 1.6.0 and 1.5.0 for every version of OpenSuse with a workaround script to repair a manual state of /etc/alternatives/ links.

And where can i find that workaround script ? I hope i can fix it with that? Thx, GJ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have tried with both the most recent version (/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0.u3.sr2-sun) and the previous version (/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0.u3-sun). Running java -version shows that the binary is correct, but most of the /etc/alternatives links point to Java 1.5: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 2008-01-26 12:24 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0.u3-sun/bin/java lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 2008-01-26 12:24 /etc/alternatives/java.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/java-java-1_6_0-sun.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/javac -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/javac lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/javac.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/javac-java-1_5_0-sun.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/javadoc -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/javadoc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/javadoc.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/javadoc-java-1_5_0-sun.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/javah -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/javah lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/javah.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/javah-java-1_5_0-sun.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/javap -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/javap lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/javap.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/javap-java-1_5_0-sun.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.5.0 -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.5.0_exports -> /usr/lib/jvm-exports/java-1.5.0-sun lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_exports -> /usr/lib/jvm-exports/java-1.5.0-sun lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_sun -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2007-11-19 19:38 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_sun_exports -> /usr/lib/jvm-exports/java-1.5.0-sun lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 2008-01-26 12:24 /etc/alternatives/javaws -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0.u3-sun/bin/javaws lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 2008-01-26 12:24 /etc/alternatives/javaws.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/javaws-java-1_6_0-sun.1.gz I have tried running update-alternatives both with --auto and --config to select Java 1.6 for the java alternative. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I ought to have thought of that, rather than assuming that java-1_5_0-sun-devel would have automatically updated when I (belatedly) upgraded from 10.2. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I had java alternative on "manual". I expect it to change it to the updated version, with an update from 1.5.0.1 to 1.5.0.2, the manual target is changed to 1.5.0.2, not to 1.6.0u7. If I had 1.6.0 u6, it's changed to 1.6.0 u7, not to auto. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
