Bug in java-openjdk update (OSS 11.0)

Hello
I’m running OSS 11.0 x86_64.
Yesterday after boot-up, I saw there were security updates,
namely Java-openjdk & Java-openjdk browser plugin
from
1.6.0_1.2_b09-9.1-x86_64
to
1.6.0_1.4_b14-24.2-x86_64

These updates fail to install, because of an apparent Yast2 conflict. This is the entry in the conflict.txt file:

Please update the repo with corrected packages or advise on a workaround (already tried unistalling both packages and reinstalling the updated versions but that doesn’t work Conflicts
remain…

You’re more likely to get results if you file a bug report at bugzilla.novell.com. The developers may not see this thread; most of us on this forum are just users.

will do asap…

I just install the openJDK on my oS 11.1 64bits and i’m not getting this error but if the error persists try the Sun version “1.6.u12-1.2.1” with browser plugin 64bits which it’s working like a dream in order to not stay without java.

Has anyone with 32-bit or 64-bit OSS 11.0 seen the same problem?

Well johnroberts is on 11.0. I haven’t had any problem on 11.1 but it’s entirely possible that there is a problem with the 11.0 update.

The security update on my 11.1 installed,but the result was a non-working browser plugin. A rollback to 1.2_b11-22.13 fixed the problem.

At the time of the installation, Sun’s plugin was not available in 64-bit. That’s why I used the opnjdk. I did a couple of tests Sun’s version sometimes fails (I wouldn’t call it a dream yet :wink: ).
But the opnjdk patches do need fixing it seems :frowning:

Yes, I have the same problem.
1.2_b09-9.1 (x86_64) installed, 1.4_b14-24.2 (x86_64) available.

Best regards,
Tobias

For anyone following this on bugzilla we have open bugs
483916 (bug I filed)
484044 a bug on zypper that should report the conflicts to user instead of doing nothing…

As a temporary solution (already proposed above) please use
SUN’s 32/64-bit packages together with respective browser plugin until OpenJDK patches are fixed

Please, if you have tha same problems, vote for above bugs
