Package: java-package Version: 0.23 Severity: minor
Sorry this report is a little vague as I haven't taken the time to fully investigate. Nonetheless, I thought it was worth reporting. I have sun-j2sdk1.5 installed as created by make-jpkg with Sun's jdk-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.bin (1.5.0+update02). Prior to that, I had update01 and before that 1.4.2+06 along with the then-required sun-j2sdk1.4debian package. Each time, I have just downloaded the new version from sun, build the new package, and installed it. I also removed the 1.4 packages when installing the 1.5 packages. Somehow over the course of this activity, I've been left with several dangling links in /etc/alternatives and in /usr/share/man. I get this daily report from man-db: /etc/cron.daily/man-db: mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/javap.1.gz is a dangling symlink mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/native2ascii.1.gz is a dangling symlink mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/javakey.1.gz is a dangling symlink mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/serialver.1.gz is a dangling symlink Perhaps there's something a postinstall or a prerm or something should be taking care of that would prevent this problem from happening. In the mean time, I've just manually removed the danging links. Thanks for your work on java-package. This is a very useful tool indeed. I hope to be able to switch to a free java sometime, but right now, I'm dependent upon generics and a number of API changes in 1.5, so I don't see that happening anytime soon. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages java-package depends on: ii coreutils 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii debhelper 4.2.33 helper programs for debian/rules ii fakeroot 1.2.9 Gives a fake root environment -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
