I'm here... and there are a couple of other problems with jdk that I
only discovered when testing a hamm - slink upgrade.  New version
sometime tomoroow I hope.

Same here; reinstalling it gets you closer but one still has to go
inside /usr/lib/jdk1.1 and replace 2 empty dirs with symlinks before
it actually works.  And though it then runs, it still complains about
checkVersions being missing.

I'd rather have the jdk 1.1.6 from September back, to be honest -- it
actually worked.  How did 1.1.7 get into slink two weeks ago, this far
into the freeze?

Amos Is anyone sitting on this?  How severe is this for the release?

I'd say grave, but then again jdk is non-free and wont be on CDs anyway.
TIA to whoever fixes this package.

I'd say it's grave too - despite being non-free, this _is_ the only decent
java virtual machine available and java isn't exactly unpopular.

Later,
