Bug ID: 1401714 Summary: Unable to start jenkins, missing mina-core.jar Product: Fedora Version: 25 Component: jenkins Severity: medium Assignee: msrb@redhat.com Reporter: jonathon.padfield@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: java-sig-commits@lists.fedoraproject.org, mizdebsk@redhat.com, msrb@redhat.com

Description of problem:

The jenkins-webapp-1.651.3-2.fc25.noarch.rpm package contains two circular symlinks, mina-core.jar -> mina-core.jar jtidy.jar -> jtidy.ja

The 'mina-core' one at least is preventing jenkins from starting

Dec 05, 2016 5:17:08 AM org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.JavaUtilLog warn WARNING: Failed startup of context w.{,file:/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/},/usr/share/jenkins/webroot java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib/mina-core.jar (Too many levels of symbolic links)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

jenkins-webapp-1.651.3-2.fc25.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:

I've cleaned the dnf cache several times, uninstalled and reinstalled jenkins, and it's always the same result.

I also downloaded and extracted the package to /tmp/

[root@at02 lib]# find /tmp/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib -xtype l find: ‘/tmp/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib/mina-core.jar’: Too many levels of symbolic links find: ‘/tmp/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib/jtidy.jar’: Too many levels of symbolic links

Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install jenkins 2. systemctl start jenkins 3. less /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log 4. find /usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib -xtype l

Actual results:

find: ‘/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib/mina-core.jar’: Too many levels of symbolic links find: ‘/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib/jtidy.jar’: Too many levels of symbolic links

Expected results:

No errors
