| subject | [contrib #419] rpm java dependency name problem | |||
| code |
# rpm -ivh /New/Lang/Functional/Scala/scala-2.3.1-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
java-1.5.0-sun is needed by scala-2.3.1-1.i386
# rpm -q java-1_5_0-sun
java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_07-1.1
|
|||
| what happened | The Scala rpm thinks that Sun's Java 1.5.0 package is called java-1.5.0-sun but on my system (SuSE 10.1) it is instead called java-1_5_0-sun |
|||
| what expected | I expected no such name conflict. If there are indeed two different naming conventions out there, either providing two rpm files or providing a smarter one or providing a .src.rpm file so that the problem is easily fixed would work better. Thanks! | |||

| We do not officially support .rpm's. Problems must be addressed to support.poseidon@epfl.ch |

| The rpm packages are maintained by the Poseidon team (http://poseidon.epfl.ch/) and are part of the Poseidon DVD distributed to students and employees of the EPFL. The dependency on Sun Java has been removed from the rpm specs of the above two files ! Previously the Poseidon DVD also contained a rpm package of the Sun Java, but Sun Microsystems recently asked the Poseidon team to stop distributing it. The situation should look better with the upcoming open source Java from Sun (http://www.sun.com/software/opensource/java/). For now Scala users on Linux have to install Sun Java separately from the the Sun's website. |
