Description
I just installed a jdk-1.5.0 (build 1.5.0-b64) rpm.

After installation /usr/java/jdk1.5.0 was missing.  I suspect that the problem is lines like "rm -rf /usr/java/jdk1.5.0" in the POSTUN script.  I used the -U option to rpm.

EVALUATION This is not a bug. Installing different builds of the same release onto a system is not supported.
