Problems installing Java

[ctt1wbw]

I keep getting a missing dependency for Java:

Error: Missing Dependency: jdk = 2000:1.5.0_09-fcs is needed by package java-1.5.0-sun-compat


In the past, when I get Java installed and working correctly, every time I do a yum update, I keep getting this error and the system update stops. Where can I get this file?

What distro, running what command?

Im using Fedora Core 5.

I have the same problem.

It is as if jpackage.org provided bogus information. I'm not too familiar with dependeicy formats, but the jdk one certainly looks different:

# yum deplist java-1.5.0-sun-compat
....
dependency: /usr/bin/ttmkfdir
provider: ttmkfdir.x86_64 3.0.9-19.2.1
dependency: /usr/bin/find
provider: findutils.x86_64 1:4.2.27-4
dependency: jdk = 2000:1.5.0_09-fcs
Unsatisfied dependency
dependency: /bin/sh
provider: bash.x86_64 3.1-6.2
dependency: config(java-1.5.0-sun-compat) = 1.5.0.09-1jpp
provider: java-1.5.0-sun-compat.noarch 1.5.0.09-1jpp
...

Note: I have jdk-1.5.0_09-fcs installed and the installation of java-1.5.0-sun-compat, completed successfully.

Where is this "jdk = 2000:1.5.0_09-fcs" coming from?

Thanks in advance.

This come from the installed rpm file.

# rpm -q --requires java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.09-1jpp
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/usr/bin/find
/usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/ttmkfdir
/usr/bin/xsltproc
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives
config(java-1.5.0-sun-compat) = 0:1.5.0.09-1jpp
jdk = 2000:1.5.0_09-fcs
jpackage-utils >= 0:1.5.38
mktemp
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1

Anyone knows what the 2000 in 2000:1.5.0_09-fcs is supposed to do?

Hi guys...

i had the same problem and solved it by just removing the java-1.5.0-sun-compat package... right now im updating and will probably install the package again after finishing

tell me if it worked out for u

[jbelis]

removing the compat rpm unregisters the sun jvm. it then defaults back to the older jvm bundled with fedora

Hello,
Trying to install java yesterday I got the error. I am also unsing Fedora Core 5.
Did you fox the problem ?
If yes could you please tell what you did ?
thanks

I got the problem when I tried to install java following the instructions given here:
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#java.

As proposed I downloaded the file:
jdk-1_5_0_08-linux-i586-rpm.bin.
But in the error message: " .... 2000:1.5.0_09-fcs ... ", it seems that
it refers to version 9.
So I downloaded the file:
jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-i586-rpm.bin.
Now the command:
yum --enablerepo=jpackage-generic-nonfree install java-1.5.0-sun-compat,
works well.

Thankd for the followup.

Yeah that works for me too. The issue comes up only when I try to install something later on that depends on java. For instance, xml-commons-apis.

you can also see the problem if you run
yum deplist java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.09-1jpp

it says the the jdk dependency is not resolved.
