CentOS - Jun 2008 - java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.i386 update failure

Hmmm,

I seemed to have created a misalignmnet somewhere along the line. I
can't remember doing anything to this. But at one time I did try to test
the java open source. Posted my results to the list, got no response,
abandoned all hope and went on my merry way. I don't know if this is
related.

I have installed an rpm for a java needed by an application I run. It
was from the official java site. I don't know if this is related.

Here's what I know. Well, I think I know this.

/usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers seems to be missing from
jpackage-utils.noarch.

As I am frequently in error, I presume that I may have something
scrogged here. If so, cluebats cheerfully fielded.

If not, any help or ideas also gratefully accepted.

Well, I went through the on line manifest (a misnomer apparently as it
lists added, updated and removed, but not unchanged packages). The only
reference I found to jpackage was in the gcj-compat package.

I tried a remove of it and aborted when I saw it would get rid of a
bunch of stuff I need, like OpenOffice.

So I can't confirm if I have the right one or not that way.
