Error: Missing Dependency: /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers is needed by package java-1.4.2-gcj-compat I'm digging all over the place for this one. Has anyone a clue?? When I use: yum whatprovides /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers it returns: jpackage-utils.noarch : JPackage utilities I've installed this from several sources. Nothing seems to provide the rebuild thing. I've used mc to looking inside the rpms I've found and none have it. So, I would guess something else does.

Thanks, RicI don't know the answer, but I have a guess. I've noticed that often a prerequisite is installed one place (maybe it changed from a former location) and the dependent thinks it's elsewhere. The solution is often a symlink (until the dependent gets "caught up"). If you do an "updatedb" and then "locate security-providers", you might get lucky. If it turns out that it's really not on your system, the google approach often yields clues to a solution. -- Bill
