A specific example being: $ ls -l /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/libawt.dylib -rwxrwxr-x 1 root wheel 563940 Apr 7 15:10 /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/libawt.dylib $ ls -l /Library/Java/Home/bundle/Libraries/libawt.jnilib -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4652208 Apr 16 14:10 /Library/Java/Home/bundle/Libraries/libawt.jnilib We've got a current issue on fink about the system-java virtual packages for 10.8 related to this, too. It took me this long to figure out _what_ the heck I was actually supposed to download and install so that I could actually experience the issue. This only affects dependencies and not actual package builds. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
