6 Most binary packages now install a file into /etc/revdep-rebuild setting
7 SEARCH_DIRS_MASK for that package, rather than blindly masking out the
8 whole of /opt without knowing what a user may have installed in there.
9 This includes a java file on the two boxes I've checked (one running IBM
10 Java and the other with Sun and Blackdown JDKs installed.

12 If the OP's Java package hasn't installed such a file, a bug report would
13 be in order.
