Any objections, or other ways to go?
Allow me to explain the problem from my point of view. We can not get updates for the "java-1_6_0-sun" package. Instead, we can install "jre-6u33-linux-amd64.rpm", which rpm lists as "jre-1.6.0_33-fcs.x86_64". The problem is that the system (yast) does not recognize this package as a valid java, and insists on installing java-1_6_0-openjdk or others, and we have to keep and update two versions of java that I do not want or need. What I want is simply an empty rpm in place of the original (12.1, 11.4) java-1_6_0-sun, with the appropriate requires, provides, etc fields (which I know nothing about) so that yast is fooled. And I can install jre from oracle and use it. That would be enough. If you feel interested, you could instead provide a package like the one that fetches the MS fonts, fetching java instead. (the point of why we want jre is not the issue now) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
