I have a related problem - my yum updates are failing with the message

Error: Missing Dependency: jdk = 2000:1.5.0_14-fcs is needed by package
+java-1.5.0-sun-compat

The problem seems to be that I have a newer version of the JDK (1.6.0)
installed locally.  Is there any way to work around this problem
without uninstalling the new JDK?
Eva.
