Description Dave Hodgins 2011-08-29 08:38:26 CEST

The hsqldb package creates a symlink
/var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar -> hsqldb.jar
It should be
var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar -> /usr/share/java/hsqldb.jar

As it is, it prevents the service from starting.

Sorry, that should have been

/var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar -> hsqldb.jar
It should be
/var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar -> /usr/share/java/hsqldb.jar

Comment 4 Dave Hodgins 2011-08-29 23:02:57 CEST

I've confirmed this update fixes the broken symlink, now allowing the hsqldb
service to be started.

I haven't figured out yet, how to test that the server actually works.
Accessing a database in libreoffice doesn't use hsql (confirmed by
running libreoffice under strace).

I'm inclined to accept this update, as it fixes the reported bug, once
it's confirmed to also work on x86-64.

The srpm is
hsqldb-1.8.1.3-4.1.mga1.src.rpm

Comment 5 Derek Jennings 2011-08-29 23:41:51 CEST

Confirmed on x86_64 the symlink is fixed.
On creating a new database in libreoffice-base the text 'HSQL Database Engine' appears at the bottom of the window, but libreoffice does not care if the hsqldb service is running or not.

Can someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm
hsqldb-1.8.1.3-4.1.mga1.src.rpm
Core Update Testing to Core Updates.

Advisory:
This update fixes a broken symlink, that prevented
the hsqldb service from starting.
