Error: Missing Dependency: /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers is needed by package java-1.5.0-gcj

[Narasimha]

Dear All

I am new to mugshot community and trying to explore. I
tried to install all pre requisite components in VM Ware server which
has Fedora 8. While trying to install ANT I am getting below
exception. Could some body can guide to the right direction.I tried to
install dependency package and tried several other way when I googled
it and none of them are working. Appreciate your help.

Thanks
Narasimha

This to me looks like your RPM database is damaged. I would suggest
running:

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*

This removes the "working copy" of the RPM database; RPM will rebuild
it when yum is next run. (RPM does the backend work for packagement;
yum is a frontend.) That may fix your problem, or it may be unrelated to that.

It looks like this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=260161

Which appears to be fixed in F9 but not in F8.

I think I remember hitting this too but I forget how I solved it. You
might try this:

su -c 'yum --enablerepo=development install jpackage-utils'
