That's actually what this was.  A cleanup.
We use the actual rpm's from Sun (yes, with permission).  The 
j2sdk-1.4.2 rpm is ... well it's not pretty.  It did alot of crazy 
things, and this update replaces it with jdk-1.5.0, which is alot better.

Anyway, that error is a normal error from the j2sdk when it is uninstalled.
