A diff between the build logs for 0.14.2-1 and 0.14.3-1 for sparc yields the following meaningful difference: -checking for jar... jar +checking for jar... no So there was no /usr/bin/jar in the sparc autobuilder after installing the fastjar package, but /usr/bin/jar is handled via the alternatives mechanism. Seems like a dpkg bug to me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
