Follow the path of mandrakeclub and add the commercial rpms list, it
will then pull the latest from them. I recall having downloaded
1.4.2._06 from mdk commercial urpmi last week.

Yup indeed. Reason for this is simple. Mandrake installs its java
package in a different location and keeps the version in the directory
title. Therefore, when you install an official RPM from Sun, you will
be required to symlink the new dir yourself, and i would recommend to
delete the old one as well. You are also required to symlink the java
plugin for moz yourself, it used to be in the README.

On Deb ian, it does (it is an unofficial package but hey, it works).
