FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux nms1 3.0.101-0.8-default #1 SMP Fri Nov 1 12:51:09 UTC 2013 (2417eb9) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Java fails to install on SuSE 11.3 with the lastest version (JRE8-40). An rpm-i yields the following result:
#rpm -i jre-8u40-linux-x64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/sbin/alternatives is needed by jre1.8.0_40-1.8.0_40-fcs.x86_64
/usr/sbin/alternatives appears to be a redhat directory (according to google). SuSE has a update-alternatives directory that appears to have the same function, but the rpm was not made to check for that directory. Additionally, creating a symbolic link for /usr/sbin/alternatives that points to the SuSE /usr/sbin/update-alternitives does not work.
REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u31
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
2 methods:
1)
- Obtain a SuSE server with 11.3 and latest patches from Novell
- Download rpm from oracle website and try to 'rpm -i' the rpm
2)
- Obtain a SuSE server with 11.3 and latest patches from Novell
- Install jre-8u31-linux-x64.rpm and preform a 'rpm -u' or 'rpm -i'
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The rpm will unpack and install
ACTUAL -
The rpm outputs the error:
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/sbin/alternatives is needed by jre1.8.0_40-1.8.0_40-fcs.x86_64
and does not install
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/sbin/alternatives is needed by jre1.8.0_40-1.8.0_40-fcs.x86_64
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
