puppetdb and oracle java

[jdausilio]

The requirements for puppetdb specify that it supports 1.7 from either openjdk or oracle. I've got oracle installed (RHEL6) but the rpm insists on openjdk (which I can't install for other reasons). Anyone know of a way around this, or am I going to have to hack the package?

Huh, I guess you are right looking at the spec:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb/blob/master/ext/redhat/puppetdb.spec.erb

Honestly, you are the first one to pick complain about this :-). Worth
a bug: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDB

Why can't you install OpenJDK? Understanding this would help us
understand the priority of such a fix.

The puppetdb rpm requires:

java-1.7.0-openjdk

In your place I'd see if creating a stub rpm with that name will satisfy the requirement. By "stub" I mean a /usr/share/doc/java-1.7.0-openjdk/README file explaining that there's a method to this rpm's madness. ;)

I'd try it, but it's bash cve day again and I'm toiling elsewhere.

$ rpm -qRp puppetdb-2.2.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm
