I am getting following error while installing the JDK 7u15 version on Red Hat Enterprise Linux box.
I am not able figure out what to do with it? I mean what is impact on running my programs?
What are these pack files?
charsets.pack
deploy.pack
javaws.pack
jsse.pack
localedata.pack
plugin.pack
rt.pack
I have followed the steps given in oracle site: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/linux/linux-jdk.html
RHEL version: 6
Here is the exact message from putty:

Recently I have got the same problem on Fedora. After researching on the Internet, it has been discussed somewhere (I will add the reference later if I can find it again) that these are normal. It appears that the installer is trying the open *.pack file when they are already gone because they are renamed to *.jar. For some reasons, they are not trying to fix this problem in any newer installer.
