Re: JRE 1.6.0_11 fonts issue on SL5.2

[Panagiotis Kritikakos]

Hi Jon,

At least on sl53 if I run "yum provides /usr/share/fonts/java" it tells me that the java-1.6.0-sun-compat package provides it, and doing rpm -qlp on the latest version of that (1.6.0.13-1.sl5.jpp I think), shows (for i386 in this case):

$ rpm -qlp 53/i386/updates/security/java-1.6.0-sun-compat-1.6.0.13-1.sl5.jpp.i586.rpm | grep /usr/share/fonts/java/

/usr/share/fonts/java/LucidaBrightDemiBold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/java/LucidaBrightDemiItalic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/java/LucidaBrightItalic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/java/LucidaBrightRegular.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/java/LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/java/LucidaSansRegular.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/java/LucidaTypewriterBold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/java/LucidaTypewriterRegular.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/java/XftCache
/usr/share/fonts/java/encodings.dir
/usr/share/fonts/java/fonts.alias
/usr/share/fonts/java/fonts.cache-1
/usr/share/fonts/java/fonts.dir
/usr/share/fonts/java/fonts.scale

but in fact those are all symlinks into the /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_13/... tree which seems to be provided by the jdk-1.6.0_13-fcs package...

Those also seem to be present in the 52 security update trees and hence yum repos. So if nothing else you seem to be missing a security update to jdk1.6.0_13 though in fact _14 is current... (but it isn't a security update) :-)

My copy of the 52 security updates trees seems to have no 1.6.0.11 version in it (it has older and newer ones), so maybe that happened to be a particularly bad version you have...

That's it, I'm missing the package:

# rpm -qa | grep java-1.6.0-sun-compat
#

No output.

Cheers,
Panos
