Comment 1 Dave Hodgins 2011-06-23 19:40:24 CEST 
I've installed and tested java-1.6.0-sun-plugin from updates-testing and it is
working on my Mageia 1 i586 installation.

Comment 2 Nicolas Vigier 2011-06-27 21:56:01 CEST 
Thanks for testing. Can you give more details about what you tested ?
For instance which java programs you tried to run after updating the java packages, which commands you ran, etc ...

I've checked that http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp loads in firefox,
and opera.  I also ran a previously compiled copy of

Comment 5 Dave Hodgins 2011-07-04 14:13:57 CEST 
The line in the postuninstall scriptlet ...

if ! [ -e /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.26/jre/lib/fonts/LucidaBrightDemiBold.ttf ]; then

is missing the corresponding fi statement.

Presumably the update 25 package has the same error.

Thanks to have reported this bug in %postun fonts.
I've just fixed it, and submitted a new package in nonfree/updates_testing.

@QA team:
please, could you validate java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.26-0.2.mga1; it contains the fix for missing fi in %postun fonts (fi removed by error at rev 98900 - clean spec file http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=98900).

regards,
Luc

For future reference, to provide any command output in English, append LC_ALL=C to any command, e.g.
LC_ALL=C urpmi --verbose --auto-update

Comment 8 Dave Hodgins 2011-07-05 01:23:32 CEST 
Should installing it update /etc/alternatives?  I still have
/etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java*

Is the user supposed to do something to manually select which version to use?
Comment 9 James Kerr 2011-07-05 02:05:00 CEST 
The same problem occurred for me when I installed the release version of sun-java. /etc/alternatives was not updated and the free java continued to be used. IIRC that did not happen on Mandriva where /etc/alternatives was updated.

When I executed  'update-alternatives --config java' 
it reported that the change had been made, but it had not.

My only interest was in getting Firefox to use the sun-java plugin and so I deleted /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so and created the symlink

ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.25/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so

There's probably a more elegant way to do it - but that worked for me.
Comment 10 James Kerr 2011-07-05 02:29:23 CEST 
Having written that - I re-ran 'update-alternatives --config java' and this time the java symlink was changed to point to sun-java.  

I think that it may be only the plugin symlink that is not changed.
Comment 11 Dave Hodgins 2011-07-05 03:05:34 CEST 
Thanks, I'd forgotten how to use update-alternatives, I also used
update-alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so
and now have the correct symlinks.

I've repeated the tests in Comment 3 successfully on my i586 system.
I also used rpm -q --scripts to confirm the fi statement had been
added, and used urpme java-1.6.0-sun to confirm the scrptlet works.

Comment 7 indicates it's working on x86-64 systems as well.

Can someone from the sysadmin team push the packages
java-1.6.0-sun
java-1.6.0-sun-alsa
java-1.6.0-sun-fonts
java-1.6.0-sun-src
java-1.6.0-sun-devel
java-1.6.0-sun-jdbc
java-1.6.0-sun-demo
java-1.6.0-sun-plugin
from Nonfree Updates Testing to Nonfree updates please.
The srpm is java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.26-0.2.mga1.nonfree.src.rpm

and I had forgotten that the plugin alternative needed to be configured separately :)

Now, it is OK.
After removal (LC_ALL=C urpme -a java-1.6.0-sun) and installation 26-0.2.mga1 wasn't error.

As the error message states, it's the %postun script of the java-1.6.0-sun-fonts-1.6.0.25-1.mga1 wich shipped in Mageia 1 (media/nonfree/release) that had a bug, so it's nothing we can do about an already installed package.

The issue was also fixed in java-1.6.0-sun-fonts-1.6.0.26-0.2.mga1
