I know it can be done the hard way, but I'd like something that (a) 
takes care of the weird alternatives double-symlink stuff correctly 
(whatever that might mean) and (b) will subsequently pick up updates 
with a normal 'yum update' like the rest of the system.   I set up the 
jpackage version (and repo) a while back but now it won't update because 
some dependency is missing.
