Bug#342273: java-package: fails to unpack sun java packages

[Phil Reynolds]

Package: java-package
Version: 0.24
Severity: important

When trying to use make-jpkg to create a package from Sun's
jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin, on this system, it fails to unpack, giving
this message:

/home/phil/jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin: line 262: ./install.sfx.24499: Permissio
n denied
/home/phil/jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin: line 1: cd: jre1.5.0_06: No such file or
 directory

(more non-relevant output, then...)

Testing extracted archive...
Invalid size (1 MB) of extracted archive. Probably you have not
enough free disc space in the temporary directory. Note: You can
specify an alternate directory by setting the environment variable
TMPDIR.


Aborted.

strace output, until this is resolved, will be available at:

I can make the package on another system, it just fails on this one for
what seem to be permissions reasons, but I cannot work out why.
