We found that if you sign them with rpm 3.0 rather than rpm 4 they work fine.

We rpm'd rpm 3.0 into a package called rpm3 which we use on our box with the yum cache (currently RHEL AS 4). It works a treat with the Sun rpms.

Hello,
There is another security update for java, and I think we really need to get this one out. I would like to test the update first though incase it causes anyone problems, so I have put the updates into the testing areas so they can
be tested.

Can the jdk rpms be signed ?
I'd be happy with a separate key from Sun if that is required.


No
I'm sorry, but that's the way they come from sun. They build them really weird, and if we sign them, they break and don't install.
