Well, you seemed to go quite a lot further than that
in your many contributions to this thread.

I probably put my point badly.
What I should have said is that the connection of this package
to openjdk should be made clearer,
eg by calling it openjdk-... as was suggested,
since it is not at all clear that "icedtea-web" is what is needed.

Actually this driver installed and worked without problem
under Fedora-17, so there was not possible way
for me to know that there would be problems with Fedora-18.
