Version Increment to JDK-6_u1.

For JDK-6 there's another required dependency: CUPS headers.

This is still on hold pending a new release of hsqldb (OpenOffice.org), additionally, there are problems with XCB that might need to be addressed as mentioned in the inline threads below from BLFS-Dev:

I recall that one of the xcb maintainers said this was still a problem on the Xorg list recently. Here's the thread:

​http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-February/021870.html

And here's a patch to turn off the asserting in xcb which is obviously not ideal.

Interesting. Here's a bug against java and the Xorg bug. The both have a really simple test case.

​http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373 ​https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9336

I don't see any resolution yet.

I can't reproduce the bug here. I have libxcb-1.0, libX11-1.1.1 and the binary jdk-1.5.0.11. The java library that will pull in xcb is libmawt.so.

Nobody has jumped at the invite to reproduce the error at this time.

Well it's 6u2 now..but it's done. For follow up, the Xinerama bug was only reproduced with the binary installation, and the suggested fix was put into place. Binary hsqldb runs fine on JDK6 and was/will be used in OOo.
