Downloading JDK Broken

[SeeJayEmm]

It appears that the downloads are broken again. Building fails, log snipped attached. Also files downloaded are the wrong size:

root@saffron:/var/local/oab/pkg# ls -l jdk-7*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 2051 2012-12-11 17:03 jdk-7u9-linux-i586.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 2051 2012-12-11 17:03 jdk-7u9-linux-x64.tar.gz

Error comes from git tagging that returns the tags ordered by name (so v7.10 comes first when we expected it last). One temporary fix is to replace the line git tag -l | tail -n1 by git tag -l 'v7.1*' | tail - n1 (line 421). This will be ok I believe for all v7 updates till it reaches v7.2x

Bumping into the same problem - the workaround did not work either:

I also got this error when trying to install Java 7 on Ubuntu 12.04.

Guys has anyone found a workaround for this issue?

I manually downloaded the missing files into /var/local/oab/pkg

jdk-7u9-linux-i586.tar.gz
jdk-7u9-linux-x64.tar.gz

This allowed the build to complete.

I got this issue to when trying to run with the -7 switch. the tar's downloaded are HTML files with this relevant text:

System error. Please re-try your action. If you continue to get this error, please contact the Administrator.

manually downloading the tar's from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u9-downloads-1859576.html and placing them in /var/local/oab/pkg was a successful work around.

maybe the script should do an MD5 check before trying to untar?

at least one comment on the pull request rywall referenced above indicates that the patch may fix this issue as well. (based on the conversation above it makes sense that this would be the case)
