Bug#305219: java-package: plugin links are wrong because of wrong 'plugin_dir=' in postinst script

2005-04-18 Thread Daniel Leidert
Package: java-package
Version: 0.23
Severity: important

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I built a package from the latest Java 1.4.2_08 SDK from Sun. After
installation I found, that the plugin-sylinks are dead. This is because
the postinst script tells:

plugin_dir=$j2se_base/plugin/$arch_dir

but it should be

plugin_dir=$j2se_base/jre/plugin/$arch_dir

Regards, Daniel

Daniel, thanks for the report.  The current release in development has
the fix in place already; this has been reported in bug #301806.  Also,
bugs like this should be set to normal; severity of a bug has very
specific definition.

 the fix in place already; this has been reported in bug #301806.

I'm sorry, but the bug reported in #301806 is not related to the bug
I've reported. #301806 tells something about the architecture specific
part of the plugin-path. But now postinst script completely misses the
right path. I'm sorry, if I missed the fact, that this new bug is
already fixed. But this bug is not mentioned in the BTS.

 Also,
 bugs like this should be set to normal; severity of a bug has very
 specific definition.

JFTP: I disagree. Crashing all browser Java plugins is IMHO an important
bug, because this renders Java in browsers unusable.

Regards, Daniel

Prior to 0.23, only i386 users had plugin support; everyone had links
that were i386-specific.  In introducing arch-specific pathing, the JDK
pathing for Sun and Blackdown appear to have been harmed.  Sorry for not
being more specific earlier, but this is what I mean by the fact that
they are, indeed, related.  I discovered your specific problem as part
of fixing bug #301806; read the whole report and you will see the part
about jre/ missing from the path.

 JFTP: I disagree. Crashing all browser Java plugins is IMHO an important
 bug, because this renders Java in browsers unusable.

Until 0.23, everyone but i386 users had unusable plugins. :-)  Keep an
eye out for 0.24, it will have the fix.  Thanks for your use and support
of Debian and java-package.
