RHBA-2008:0257 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
java-1.6.0-sun bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated java-1.6.0-sun packages that fix several issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary.
Description
The java-1.6.0-sun packages include the Sun Java 6 Runtime Environment, Sun
Java 6 Software Development Kit (SDK), the source code for the Sun Java
class libraries, the Sun Java browser plugin and Web Start, the Sun
JDBC/ODBC bridge driver, and demonstration files for the Sun Java 6 SDK.
These new packages update the included copy of Sun's Java 6 SDK from
1.6.0_5 to 1.6.0_6. This update to the SDK includes numerous bug fixes,
documented in the upstream release notes (see the References section below
for a link to these notes).
Users of java-1.6.0-sun affected by any of the issues noted in the upstream
documentation should upgrade to these updated packages.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
