>Description:

The "jre/bin" subdirectory (and some other goop under the "jre" subdir) is a
vital part of the JRE component of the Sun JDK/JRE combo.  This directory
indeed exists in the fully extracted Sun JDK 1.3, but the sun-jre13 package
removes it under the claim that it is "shared with the JDK".

(Yes, I'm aware that it is redundant.  However, commercial packages expect
the jre/bin directory to be present, which is why I included it when I wrote
the sun-j{dk,re} packages in the first place.)

>How-To-Repeat:

Try to install anything that knows about the full Sun JDK path layout (i.e.
any Sun commercial package with Java support, such as Sun ONE ASP).

>Fix:

Pick one:

* Symlink jre/bin to "../bin".

* Put the directory back, and fix the .java_wrapper in both places, as the
  sun-j{dk,re} packages used to do.
