FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
[root@earth root]# /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/bin/java -version
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)
FULL OS VERSION :
Red Hat Linux v9 (Linux earth.snydernet.lan 2.4.21 #1 Fri Jun 13 20:51:37 PDT 2003 i586 i586 i386 GNU/Linux)
EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
System is current with all RHL v9 updates/fixes released as of this date.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Files installed by a Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) package should "own" the files that it installs. That is, one whould be able to query the RPM database for the package that installed a given file on the system. The Java v1.4.2 installation does not own the files it installed in directory /usr/local/man/man1. (Note that these files are duplicates of the files installed in directory /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/man/man1.)
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Update installed Java (1.4.2-beta) package: rpm -Uvh j2re-1_4_2-linux-i586.rpm
2. Note that files have been installed into directory /usr/local/man/man1. (That's unusual for RPM-packaged software.)
3. Files in this directory have names and timestamps that suggests installation frpm the 1.4.2 J2RE package. Attempt to verify this with the RPM query-file command:
# rpm -qf /usr/local/man/man1/java.1
file /usr/local/man/man1/java.1 is not owned by any package
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
All files installed by the RedHat Package Manager should be "owned" by the package that installed them. The 11 files installed into directory /usr/local/man/man1 are not associated with any particular package.
ACTUAL -
# rpm -qf /usr/local/man/man1/java.1
file /usr/local/man/man1/java.1 is not owned by any package
# ls -l /usr/local/man/man1/
