Description Nicolas Mailhot 2010-02-22 11:35:01 UTC
Description of problem:

The java plugin filename changed but alternative rules were not updated ; as a result it is no longer registered in firefox

java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1:1.6.0.0-34.b17.fc13.x86_64

$ ls -l /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so 
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 41 19 févr. 10:49 /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64

$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 64 19 févr. 10:49 /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

$ rpm -ql java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaNPPlugin.so

Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2010-02-22 19:18:10 UTC
Confirmed here. It seems the spec file had the new name of the file added to the list that alternatives uses, but that's not enough: as long as the old name is still listed, alternatives will continue to use it, even if the file doesn't exist:

[root@adam F-13]# update-alternatives --display libjavaplugin.so.x86_64
libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so - priority 16000
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaNPPlugin.so - priority 16000
Current `best' version is /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so.

either the old name should be removed in %post, or the new name should be given a higher priority, I guess.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2010-02-22 19:19:07 UTC
workaround is 'update-alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so.x86_64' (or .i586 or something on 32-bit, I guess) and then pick the appropriate option (should be 2).

Comment 3 Deepak Bhole 2010-02-23 02:34:58 UTC
Hmm, odd. The IcedTeaPlugin.so alternative should have gotten removed during upgrade.

Re-assigning to Fedora RPM owner.

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2010-02-23 20:47:05 UTC
deepak: I only glanced at the spec, but it looks like there's nothing there to remove the old name, that I could see anyway.
