failure when installing multiple JDKs and defining add_alternative

[maecval]

Hi all,

The installation fails when using the following definition:

class { 'oracle_java':
  version => '7u79',
  type    => 'jdk',
  add_alternative => true
} ->
oracle_java::installation { '8u45':
  type => 'jdk',
  add_alternative => true
}

For details about errors see end of this report.

It succeeds if the "add_alternative => true" is not used in the "8u45" section.
i.e.

class { 'oracle_java':
  version => '7u79',
  type    => 'jdk',
  add_alternative => true
} ->
oracle_java::installation { '8u45':
  type => 'jdk'
}

What's my mistake?

Regards,
maecval

It looks like a dependency issue, thanks for reporting

[maecval]

Any clue when the release containing the fixes for the latest 2 issues will be available?

[antoineco]

Yes, I release it tomorrow :)

Great!
Thanks a lot!
