Bug#617402: ia32: ia32 zi symlink causes incorrect caching in UnixFileSystem

[Achiel van der Mandele]

Package: ia32-sun-java6-bin
Version: 6.22-1
Severity: important
File: ia32

The current ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.22 package has a symlink in
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/jre/lib to
.../../../java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/jre/lib/zi
This causes incorrect caching in UnixFileSystem, see
http://www.docjar.com/html/api/java/io/UnixFileSystem.java.html (lines 157-159
specifically state that symlinks will break)

Easy example to replicate this issue:
    new
File("/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/jre/lib/resources.jar").getCanonicalFile();
    System.out.println(java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+0"));

which generates:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.util.TimeZone.parseCustomTimeZone(TimeZone.java:767)
        at java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone(TimeZone.java:471)
        at java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone(TimeZone.java:465)

Shouldn't the ia32 package have it's own zi directory?
