The problem is that /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3/jre is a symlink to
/usr/lib/j2re1.3 and due to realpath we end up with the latter for
java.home. This breaks applications which try to run
e.g. {java.home}/../bin/javac as /usr/lib/j2re1.3/../bin/javac
(i.e. /usr/lib/bin/javac) does not exist.

We have new packages which use a different directory layout and fix
this problem. The new packages should be on the mirrors soon.
