Testing results thus far:

If you currently have installed
 j2sdk < 1.4.2-13 *only*
no problems, it updates fine

If you currently have installed
 j2sdk < 1.4.2-13 *and* jdk < 1.5.0-11
no problems, it updates both the j2sdk and jdk fine

If you currently have installed
 j2sdk < 1.4.2-13 *and* jdk = 1.5.0-11
Problem:  It updates j2sdk and deletes jdk.
Why? I don't know. It has nothing to do with yum or apt, because it does it even if you do this by hand.

Hello,
It seems that Java has a timezone problem as well as everything else. But since the last update of java didn't go so well, I'm a little paranoid. I have in the testing area the j2sdk-1.4.2-13 as well as jdk-1.5.0-11.

I've already tested, and those people who haven't added any java to their system, just updates fine. It's the people who have updated to java 1.5 or 1.6 that I'm worried about. But since that is all done by hand by all sorts of various people, I'm at a bit of a loss for testing.

anyway, can people test this latest java update

SL3
yum -c ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/30rolling/testing/yum.conf update

SL4
yum -c ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40rolling/testing/yum.conf update
or
yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update

Let me know if it does anything wierd to your java.

Thanks
Troy
