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, Ric

all I can say is, WTF are you installing GCJ for, its about as close to useless as you can get.

I 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.

Thank you, Bill. I did that and it revealed much. I found that the jpackage I installed was flawed, lacking that file. I used the rpm from my CentOS DVD and that fixed it. I have my fingers crossed that Java7 will be un-encumbered legally enough that an official rpm can be released with all of the JDK's glory intact, and mesh with the rpm way of keeping packages and dependencies straight. Free Rainbow-Stew and Bubble-Up are my next targets. I had the jdk installed in /opt and it worked. Then I decided to put it into /usr/java using the rpm.bin. That sure fixed things. Not! <grins> Ric

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. I won't try to be more specific than that because I always find it confusing myself, but it does work if you can find the right pieces.

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
