Hi,

currently we prepare the gLite middlware ( http://cern.ch/glite ) 
release fo SL5.
Many services take Java rpms out of jpackage. Now we face a problem 
using jpackage together with SL5. Here's what we see:

On a SL5.3 machine I have the following repos:

[jpackage5-generic]
name=JPackage 5, generic
baseurl=http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/5.0/generic/free/
enabled=1
protect=1
gpgkey=http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc
gpgcheck=1

[sl-base]
baseurl=http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/scientific/53/x86_64/SL
enabled=1
protect=1

[sl-errata]
baseurl=http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/scientific/53/x86_64/updates/security
enabled=1
protect=1

No I do "yum install log4j" ( log4j is just for illustration; the same 
error you get with many other Java rpms):

I experimented a bit with switching "enabled" on/off, but I couldn't 
make the problem go away.

Do you know something about this problem? Any help would be very 
welcome? Thanks a lot for your efforts!

Best regards,
Andreas
