Problem with tzupdater on Java 1.3.1.18

LinuxNotMS — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 13:18:27 GMT

I have had great success with tzupdater except for one machine which happens to be running Java 1.3.1.18.

The update log (attached) shows life is good, until it apparently tries to change the ownership on something, and then promptly dies. I have checked permissions on /usr/bin/chown and all of the files under /opt/java1.3. I am left scratching my head, as I am not a java guru.

Any ideas other than removing Java 1.3 are welcome...

Try using a newer java version to run the update. I had a few issues while using the -s switch.

I "cheated" a little bit. I copied a rt.jar from a similar system running the same version where the update worked (after saving off the old copy). tzupdater is happy with that and it reports that it is using the 2007 timezone information.

I have to wonder if there is something else that needs to be done as well, however - this "fix" seems too easy.

To update the java TZ follow the steps below.

1. Check the recent TZ of your actually java
java -jar tzupdater.jar -V

2. java -jar tzupdater.jar -u
This update the TZ. After executing this command use the java -jar tzupdater.jar -V to see whether the update is done.

3. java -jar tzupdater.jar -t
If no errors occurs, that means that is everything is done properly

Thanks
