Apparently things aren't quite as bad as I thought. The java and javac placeholders end with execs to GNU commands. I just got depressed before I got to the output from GNU. That said, things still aren't working. nfs/work/s61> ant libgcj-java-placeholder.sh This script is a placeholder for the /usr/bin/java master link required by jpackage.org conventions. libgcj's rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools are now slave symlinks to these masters, and are managed by the alternatives(8) system. This change was necessary because the rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools installed by previous versions of libgcj conflicted with symlinks installed by jpackage.org JVM packages.

I installed ant from jpackage with yum. I thought that I'd installed ant-contrib, but I don't see it in installed. My recollection is that I edited /etc/yum.repos.d after ant and before something else. > > Should I remove additions I made to /etc/yum.repos.d ? > > That is kind of a question where I can hardly say yes or no.
