[fedora-java] dependency issues with java-1.4.2-gcj-compat

[David Farning]

I just got around to installing native eclipse on the devel branch and
have found what appears to be a dependency issues with
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.

When running yum install eclips*  I got all sorts
of /usr/bin/rebuild-gcj-db: No such file or directory errors until I
manually installed java-1.4.2*

(I didn't keep a log cause I wasn't sure what was happening yet)


When attempting to yum remove eclipse*

I get the following

The /usr/bin/rebuild-gcj-db: No such file or directory error shows up
just after java-1.4.2-gcj-compat has been removed.

If I manually reinstall java-1.4.2-gcj-compat I can successfully remove
jakarta-commons-logging.

Should I look into this deeper and file a bug report?
