It is related to tomcat. I was trying to remove the non-working tomcat with the idea of replacing it with something else and openoffice went with it. Odd, but fixable. >> I haven't seen a response to centos bugzilla 0002160 that I filed a >> month ago about this. > > I didn't see the bug before ... but it was released 7/22/2007: > redhat-rpm-config-8.0.45-17.0.1.el5.centos.noarch.rpm Thanks, but I thought the bug was related to the way the way the java-containing rpms were built (or maybe installed..) and this rpm just fixes the process. What will it take to get working indexes into the jar files for tomcat (and probably other apps) on an existing system? Also, is there any chance of duplicating those Red Hat sun jdk rpms? I think you've said no before, but I'm curious about how debian was able to manage it: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/sun-java5 if it is still problematic to redistribute. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
