Debugging the test program it seems that the problem is a missing
ZoneInfoMappings file.
The stack trace is:
Thread [main] (Suspended)
ZoneInfoFile$2.run() line: 1075
ZoneInfoFile$2.run() line: 1073
AccessController.doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction<T>) line: not
available [native method]
ZoneInfoFile.readZoneInfoFile(String) line: 1073
ZoneInfoFile.getZoneInfoMappings() line: 1042
ZoneInfoFile.getZoneIDs() line: 783
ZoneInfo.getAvailableIDs() line: 535
TimeZone.getAvailableIDs() line: 514
tztest.main(String[]) line: 3
readZoneInfoFile opens this file:
/usr/share/javazi/ZoneInfoMappings
which does not exists; the null return value is propagated up to
getZoneIDs, leading to the NullPointerException.
That file is indeed present in the older package:
# ls /usr/share/javazi/
Africa Antarctica Atlantic CET EET EST5EDT Europe HST
MET MST7MDT PST8PDT WET
America Asia Australia CST6CDT EST Etc GMT Indian
MST Pacific SystemV ZoneInfoMappings
# dpkg -S /usr/share/javazi/ZoneInfoMappings
tzdata-java: /usr/share/javazi/ZoneInfoMappings
Hum. So upgrading the openjdk packages somehow deletes files from
another package...
[upgrade]
Unpacking replacement openjdk-6-jre-lib ...
dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory
'/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/zi/Antarctica': Directory not
empty
dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory
'/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/zi/Pacific': Directory not empty
dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory
'/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/zi/America': Directory not empty
# ls /usr/share/javazi
America Antarctica Pacific
The preinst file of openjdk-6-jre-lib shows:
with_tzdata=yes
if [ "$with_tzdata" = yes ]; then
if [ ! -h /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/zi ] && [ -d
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/zi ]; then
rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/zi
fi
fi
But, even with 6b18-1.8.1-2 installed that directory is a symlink;
# ll /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/zi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 15 17:19
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/zi -> ../../../../../share/javazi
The rm -rf should not be triggered. Double hum :)
