[syslog-ng] syslog-ng-java RPM requirements will not use Oracle Java

Thu Mar 22 17:20:13 UTC 2018

I realize that the libjvm.so is included in the Oracle RPM package. It is when I have this installed,
the installation of syslog-ng-java will install another java onto my system.

% rpm -q jdk1.8
jdk1.8-1.8.0_162-fcs.x86_64

% find /usr/java/ -name "*jvm.so"
/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_162/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so

% sudo yum install syslog-ng-java

If I have Oracle java installed, I would expect to install syslog-ng-java without any additional dependencies (other than syslog-ng)
