As we know, openSUSE no longer provides updates for Java from Sun. We can install the JRE rpm from them, and remove the java-1_6 rpm, because JRE is an update of that one - but yast does not recognizes it as an update, and wants to install icetea-web. I had to taboo it. Then yast insisted and tried to install java-1_6_0_opnjdk. Again I said no and tabooed it. Then Yast insisted and wanted to install gcc-ijj - more or less in that order. I also tabooed it.
Then YaST got mad at me and wanted to remove openoffice, and I told it to &&%%·$ itself and break dependencies.
Is there some other way to make yast happy and recognize that Java IS indeed installed in the system? Perhaps a false java rpm with false provides?
Do we need a bugzilla for this?
Yes. As not all package maintainers follow this list. Please file one and be this nice to report the issue ID as a clickable URL back to this thread. Thanks, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
