not sure if can change that in a stable release. Assignee:

dmorganec Thanks Manuel. No problem, but if possible change that in Cauldron. When an update to a new version is the only possible way to fix a bug, due to patches being either not available, or too complicated, my understanding is that, an exception can be made, to allow a new version to be done as an update. It should be discussed on the developers mailing list first though, to ensure the update won't interfere with too many other packages. CC:

Thanks :) **************************** @ the reporter and persons in the cc of this bug: If you have any new information that wasn't given before (like this bug being valid for another version of Mageia, too, or it being solved) please tell us. @ the reporter of this bug If you didn't reply yet to a request for more information, please do so within two weeks from now. Thanks all :-D All packages that require java use: java-1.7.0-openjdk-1:1.7.0.3-2.2.1.0.2.mga2.x86_64 However, icedtea-web-1.2-4.mga2.x86_64.rpm require java-1.6.0-openjdk asks :-( To have installed only java-1.7.0-openjdk I was using icedtea-web-1.2-5.mga3.x86_64 However, today update icedtea-web-1.2.1-1.mga2.x86_64.rpm back to ask for java-1.6.0-openjdk, however being icedtea-web-1.2.1 compatible with java-1.7.0-openjdk should not ask a previous version. Needs to be fixed the dependency to be satisfied with any one of the two below: java-1.7.0-openjdk or java-1.6.0-openjdk CC:

frateraec Fixing dependencies in the SPEC file everything would be solved: I'll suggest it is changed to > = java-1.6.0-openjdk It is built to work with 1.6.0 in Mageia 2. It will be built to work with 1.7.0 in Mageia 3. It can't do both. Status:

RESOLVED So the only alternative is to use the icedtea-web-1.2.1 version of cauldron if I do not want to have java-1.6.0-openjdk only for icedtea-web?! Running packages from Cauldron is neither recommended or supported, but in this case that would probably work. Alternatively, you could rebuild the Mageia 2 package yourself and change the 1.6.0 to 1.7.0 (line 7 in the SPEC file). Ok! I noticed that some Web sites to work with icedtea-web-1.2.1 need to add a symbolic link: For firefox: $ ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.3.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/libnpt.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so (In reply to comment #10) > Ok! > > I noticed that some Web sites to work with icedtea-web-1.2.1 need to add a > symbolic link: > > For firefox: > $ ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.3.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/libnpt.so > ~/.mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so Please file a new bug for that and assign to dmorganec@gmail.com |
