hmm, it was my fault :-(
once upon a time when rpm's auto requires didn't contain motif so I remove
the small hack from the spec file (since it's realy not required) but now
I put it back. so there are new version of the rpms.
they're on anna.inf.u-szeged.hu and redhat's incoming
(I hope tomorrow in contrib area). and I hope these're better:-)
or you can simple use
rpm -Uvh --nodeps jdk-sbb...
with the previous version...
