I found that there are some compatibility issues between RHEL5 and SL5
in regards to how java 1.5.0 is being distributed. We have a beta
astronomy package which depends on RedHat's java-1.5.0-sun (specifically
it lists libjava.so as a requirement). Their repo does supply the
required package, but yum removes the SL java-1.5.0-sun-compat as it
conflicts with the Redhat packaging.
I guess my question is why does SL use different packaging from the
upstream vendor for java 1.5.0?
