PuppetDB / PDB-4972 puppetdb-7.0.0 still requires java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PDB 7.0.0 Assignee: Unassigned Components: PuppetDB Created: 2020/11/21 9:19 AM Environment: Redhat 7.9 x86_64 Priority: Normal Reporter: Curtis Ruck Puppet Version: 7.0.0 Puppet Server Version: 7.0.0 OS Name/Version: Redhat 7.9 x86_64 the new puppetdb-7.0.0 redhat packages still "require" java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless, even though the package supports OpenJDK 11. Desired Behavior: puppetdb-7.0.0 should probably switch to just requiring `/usr/bin/java` since redhat's 1.8.0 and 11 openjdk packages do not have a common provides like `jre-headless` Actual Behavior: [root@puppet modules]# yum install puppetserver -y Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package puppetdb.noarch 0:7.0.0-1.el7 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless for package: puppetdb-7.0.0-1.el7.noarch --> Running transaction check ---> Package java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless.x86_64 1:1.8.0.272.b10-1.el7_9 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved =========================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size =========================================================================================== Installing: puppetdb noarch 7.0.0-1.el7 puppet7 44 M Installing for dependencies: java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless x86_64 1:1.8.0.272.b10-1.el7_9 rhel7-server-rpms 33 M Transaction Summary =========================================================================================== Install 1 Package (+1 Dependent package) Add Comment

Re: puppetdb-7.0.0 still requires java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless Copying my comment from SERVER-2922 for posterity: The issue with fixing this for el7 is twofold: OpenJDK is packaged in such a way that it is hard to do something like 'Requires /usr/bin/java' - neither openjdk 8 or 11 provides '/usr/bin/java' since that is managed through alternatives. openjdk 8 provides 'java', but openjdk 11 only provides 'java-11' . This is intentional for openjdk since compatibility between java 8 and java 11 isn't guaranteed https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/504706/how-do-i-set-a-rpm-package-to-require-java-8-or-higher-whose-dependencies-can-b The version of rpm that ships with el7 does not support boolean dependencies. This is a relatively new feature for rpm, and could be used to resolve this issue for el8 https://rpm.org/user_doc/boolean_dependencies.html It seems like the only way to actually resolve this for el7 would be to switch from requiring java8 to java11 which is not a change we're ready to make at this time.
