When you try to install the current available updates;
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.i386 1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 base
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel.i386 1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 base
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-javadoc.i386 1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 base
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-src.i386 1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 base
you will get the following error message;
Error: Missing Dependency: /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers is needed by package java-1.4.2-gcj-compat
Apparently the solution to this is to install the latest version of the jpackage-utils. The new version can be found at the CentOS testing repros at http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/i386/RPMS/jpackage-utils-1.7.5-1jpp.1.el5.centos.noarch.rpm.
Once you downloaded the RPM, install it with rpm -Uvh. You then will be able to update your system successfully with “yum update”.
