I'm trying to install a package that depends on Java 1.7 with yum. I do I have Java 7 on my machine:

#echo $JAVA_HOME
$JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64
# java -version
java version "1.7.0_09-icedtea"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.3.4.1.el6_3-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)

But yum still complains about not finding java 1.7:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: <some package>
           Requires: jre >= 1.7.0
           Available: java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-29.1.el6.x86_64 (base)
               jre = 1.5.0

               jre = 1.6.0
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
<some package>.noarch has missing requires of jre >= ('0', '1.6.0', None)

Any idea as to what might caused this? Thanks,

I know that you installed java, but maybe you should try running sudo yum install java to make sure yum "remembers" installing it.

EDIT
You could also try running sudo rpmdb --rebuilddb to rebuild the rpm database.

  • I ran rpmdb --rebuildb, still doesn't seem to help. And are you suggesting remove the current java and run yum install java ?

  • @OneTwoThree Either that, or run yum install java without uninstalling java. OBTW, did you install java with yum?

  • @OneTwoThree Well try installing it with sudo yum localinstall <rpm-file>.
