Description Marcus Meissner 2011-02-04 22:36:14 UTC 
during installing the java-1_6_0-openjdk update I get:

Installation von: java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.6.0.0_b20.1.9.5-1.2.1 [fertig]
Zusätzliche rpm-Ausgabe:
update-alternatives: internal error: /var/lib/rpm/alternatives/java corrupt: priority /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun /usr/share/man/man1/policytool-java-1_6_0-sun.1.gz

Comment 2 Michal Vyskocil 2011-02-14 13:03:07 UTC 
Seems like my fix for bnc#648260 left alternatives file broken in some scenarios. The problem is the number of slaves and slave links in file does not match, so some lines are wrongly recognized.
Comment 3 Michal Vyskocil 2011-02-14 15:07:38 UTC 
The problem is there are 4 empty lines behind /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/bin/java - the pack/unpack removal code should run after update-alternatives --install, not before.

I prepared a fix in home:mvyskocil:branches:OBS_Maintained:update-alternatives - maintenance, can I get a SWAMPID for 11.2 and 11.3? Thanks.
Comment 4 Marcus Meissner 2011-02-14 16:52:22 UTC 
critical enough.  will it unbreak existing breakage too?  +1
Comment 5 Michal Vyskocil 2011-02-15 09:08:51 UTC 
Yes, it will fix the broken /var/lib/rpm/alternatives/java - and on next openjdk maintenance update I'll add the workaround call to %post for sure.

Maintenance - ping!

The openjdk update was released yesterday - bnc#671714, so this update should be released first!
