Normal?
Nope.
At the installation of the *rpm.bin, evidently. I was su, and it seems
I thought Debian didn't use RPMs. Anyway, sometimes when you "su" you lose
PATH information and other envars due to not picking profiles and other .*rc
files.
that it cannot find the basic binary utilities. However, the output
.rpm is 47.8 MB, and is thus not empty...
Using Ubuntu, which, like Debian, uses APT for package management, I don't
download the RPM but the other Linux installation file that is not RPM based.
It's essentially a self-extracting compressed file in a .bin file which
expands to a Java directory tree. I then copy the tree to wherever I put Java
directory trees (under /opt/java/, in my case). I'm pretty sure RPMs don't
work in Ubuntu, but maybe Debian is different.
The Java installed by the Ubuntu APT mechanism is OpenJDK version 6 and it
seems pretty stable and complete.
