Description Marc Krämer 2019-10-24 01:32:53 CEST

each update of java leaves files under /usr/lib/jvm/

it looks like some files are installed in 

/usr/lib/jvm/java-*/jre/lib/[ext,security] 

which are unknown to rpm, so they were not removed on uninstall/update.

Just FYI, you'll need to report this to RedHat's bugzilla if you actually want it to be fixed.  We don't maintain any downstream changes beyond what is necessary.

Comment 2 Marc Krämer 2019-10-29 11:10:53 CET

@David: I quite don't understand your answer. As "user" of mageia, I'm supposed to report bugs upstream "redhat" because we just import packages?! The responsibility should be at the maintainer.
I thought we do more, than just importing packages... I thought fixing and reporting patches upstream is what we do too.

Comment 3 Marc Krämer 2019-11-15 11:44:21 CET

I've found the problem - and it is a change by mageia!
the files not removed are defined as config files and are binary which is total nonsense:
config(noreplace) %{_jvmdir}/%{jredir -- %{?1}}/lib/security/policy/unlimited/US_export_policy.jar
%config(noreplace) %{_jvmdir}/%{jredir -- %{?1}}/lib/security/policy/unlimited/local_policy.jar
%config(noreplace) %{_jvmdir}/%{jredir -- %{?1}}/lib/security/policy/limited/US_export_policy.jar
%config(noreplace) %{_jvmdir}/%{jredir -- %{?1}}/lib/security/policy/limited/local_policy.jar
