Description Barry Jackson 2011-10-15 00:07:17 CEST 
I was getting this error:
[root@jackodesktop baz]# service -s | grep mysqld
JAVA_EXECUTABLE or HSQLDB_JAR_PATH in '/etc/sysconfig/hsqldb' is set to a non-file.

After some digging I found that the symlink at /var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar was pointing to itself instead of /usr/share/java/hsqldb.jar.

Looking at hsqldb.spec the symlink generation seems OK, yet it fails to be created correctly during installation. (I removed it and re-installed with urpmi --replacepkgs hsqldb but still the link failed)

I am somewhat baffled.

Looking at the changelog I see that this was recently modified.
Comment 1 Barry Jackson 2011-10-15 11:43:53 CEST 
After creating the link manually (using the same syntax as in the spec) the perms all look OK down both paths :\

[root@jackodesktop lib]# namei -o /var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar
f: /var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar
 d root root /
 d root root var
 d root root lib
 d root root hsqldb
 d root root lib
 l root root hsqldb.jar -> /usr/share/java/hsqldb.jar
   d root root /
   d root root usr
   d root root share
   d root root java
   - root root hsqldb.jar
[root@jackodesktop lib]# namei -m /var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar
f: /var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar
 drwxr-xr-x /
 drwxr-xr-x var
 drwxr-xr-x lib
 drwxr-xr-x hsqldb
 drwxr-xr-x lib
 lrwxrwxrwx hsqldb.jar -> /usr/share/java/hsqldb.jar
   drwxr-xr-x /
   drwxr-xr-x usr
   drwxr-xr-x share
   drwxr-xr-x java
   -rw-r--r-- hsqldb.jar

Hope that helps - I thought there may be something somewhere blocking it but seems fine to me. :\

@ Barry

Is the issue still there in current cauldron?

If so, do you mind c&p'ing that part of the changelog you talked about in the Description of this report, I keep looking over it. (Well, I don't see any recent changes)

No maintainer and D Morgan is already in the cc. 

@ Guillaume
CC'ing you because you touched the package three times ± 10 yrs ago. Yes, I'm crazy %þ.
Feel free to remove yourself from the cc if you don't want to read this bug.
