Testing results thus far:

If you currently have installed
  j2sdk < 1.4.2-13 *only*
no problems, it updates fine

If you currently have installed
  j2sdk < 1.4.2-13 *and* jdk < 1.5.0-11
no problems, it updates both the j2sdk and jdk fine

If you currently have installed
  j2sdk < 1.4.2-13 *and* jdk = 1.5.0-11
Problem:  It updates j2sdk and deletes jdk.
Why?  I don't know.  It has nothing to do with yum or apt, because it 
does it even if you do this by hand.
