RHBA-2011:1623 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated java-1.6.0-openjdk package that fixes two bugs is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

These packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 6
Software Development Kit.

This updated java-1.6.0-openjdk package includes fixes for the following bugs:

• The java-1.6.0-openjdk package has been upgraded to the upstream version

1.10.4, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous
version. (BZ#722310)

• Installing of OpenJDK or execution of a Java program, which was using other

than terminal fonts, could have terminated unexpectedly with the following
error:

Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.Error: Probable fatal error:No fonts found.

This happened because the fontconfig library was not installed and the font
enumeration failed. With this update, OpenJDK depends on fontconfig and the
problem no longer occurs. (BZ#708201)

All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixed these bugs.
