great... that was fun... i could not reproduce the behavior as seen by
the original reporter even using yum update.
Here's my setup:
*Start with Sun's jre-1.5.0_02-fcs package installed
*install the older java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_16rh.i386.rpm
using rpm -i or yum install, my jre package was not removed. Note you
have to install the jessie package from development as well.
*run yum update to update to
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_18rh, my jre is not removed.
*or rpm -U to java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_18rh, my jre is not removed
On my rawhide system I have tested rpm -i, yum install, rpm -U and yum
update on
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat packages. I even did rpm -U --oldpackage.
Specically working with:
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_16rh.i386.rpm
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_18rh.i386.rpm
and jessie-1.0.0-5.noarch.rpm
when doing these operations.
I can not reproduce the removal of Sun's latest rpm package
jre-1.5.0_02-fcs on my x86 rawhide system in any scenario. Anyone who
can reproduce this is going to have to provide some verbose output
from rpm and yum.
