Description
The RPM bundle jdk-6u3-linux-i586-rpm.bin installs two copies of Java DB:

  1. Proper Java DB RPMs in /opt/sun/javadb - correct
  2. ${JAVA_HOME}/db/... - should not be there since 6u2

Comments
EVALUATION The temp dir created just for the use of the self extracting archives is being reused by the RPM creation scripts as well. Removal of the db directory from this so called temporary directory, after it's used for the creation of the self extracting archive should resolve this duplication.
