If you didn't use an rpm, you should have:-) If the new rpm didn't replace the old, it should have. A bug report is in order.

The `which' command also picks up 1.4.2. The Java web pages give advice on how to remove Java when installed from rpm, but this doesn't seem to apply to 1.4.2. > > Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this ? I experimented a little with renaming what I thought were the key files for java 1.4.2 but didn't succeed. I also tried simply aliasing /usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/bin/java to java, but this produced error messages. oh dear! > > I'll be very grateful for help on this. -- Cheers John -- spambait [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] Please do not reply off-list
