The x86_64 java plugin is here /usr/java/java version/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so I'll work on updating java-1.6.0-sun-compat to include this. Fine! That will solve some massive problems here. Sincerly, Klaus Steinberger attachment: klaus_steinberger.vcf smime.p7s Description: S/MIME

Last nite's update

Hi, Is anyone else seeing last nite's update hang on SL5.1 systems? Near as I can tell, it's hanging on cups-1.3.7-11.el5_4.3. I have 3 SL5.1 systems (all the 5.3 systems updated just fine) that I did not get yum cron email from this morning, so went investigating. A 'ps auxw | grep yum' on one

Back when we originally tried to release this version of cups, we determined that a newer version of rpm was needed. But in our tests, we didn't have any systems just hang. They all were spewing these odd messages. What happens if you update rpm before updating cups? Maybe we need to pull cups

OK, just shows that no matter how well you test something, you never know until it goes live. Well, I'll pull the cups update out of the repo's, and leave the rpm part in. I'll make a note to push cups out in a couple weeks. Sorry about that. Troy P. Larry Nelson wrote: Troy, Troy Dawson
