Details

Description:
the symbolic link /opt/java/bin/klist points to not existing ../jre/bin/klist (though jre is installed) and ends nowhere. Found a substitution in /usr/bin/klist.

* /opt/java/jre/man/ja/man1/ktab.1 is missing
* /opt/java/bin/ktab links also nowwhere. didn't find a substitution


Additional info:
* package version(s) 6u17-1
* installed jre: 6u17-1



Steps to reproduce:
Export a new Eclipse Product and you'll get tons of error message because of missing those files.

Workaround(?):
However, it seems that the export is running through, if you create dummy files for the missing like: touch /opt/java/jre/man/ja/man1/ktab.1 etc. Not sure how that will affect the exported products that way.

Possible, that it's jre package's fault.


This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  The files in question are intentionally removed by the jre installer (not the PKGBUILD) as they cause conflicts with jdk. As such, to resolve these issues, install jdk.

Just notice that there are more missing files or broken links like:

klist.1 in /opt/java/jre/man/man1
kinit in jre/bin
...

I think there are lots more of them
