It should work if you follow the jpackage instructions for their nosrc rpm where you download the Sun binary and rebuild it into an alternatives-compatible package that also supplies the jvm dependencies for the other jpackage packages.

Sounds like my own brain. It works when I find the right pieces. I found this little gem on the web, it's a script to do all of that rpm rebuilding. Rather than take up bandwidth, if someone wants me to attach it to them to look at, I'd be glad to. It looks pretty simple and might actually be of use to folks. Ric
