The only thing I know is that the libXp is in XFree86 3.3.2-devel and
apparantly not in 3.3.1. From what I have heard this library is used for
printing under Motif. Maybe one of the members of the porting team can
explain why this library is needed as from JDK1.1.6v4a?

I'm afraid I can't answer your questions.
This is the answer I received from Christopher Seawood:

Ok, I talked to Mike Wangsmo at RedHat and it looks as though there are
problems with the updates directory. He said that this problem was
corrected over a month ago and that it should be straightened out in a day
or so. Sorry for the inconvenience.
