objdump -x /usr/lib64/libgdal.so | grep RPATH
  RPATH                /usr/lib64/jvm/java........../jre/lib/amd64/server
libjvm.so resides in:  /usr/lib64/jvm/icedtea8-3.4.0/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so

/usr/lib64/jvm/java -> icedtea8-3.4.0 symlink is provided by icedtea8-jdk
- this package contains symlinks and manuals only, BUT also:

Requires:       icedtea8-jar = 3.4.0-1, icedtea8-jdk-base = 3.4.0-1
		one symlink and 2 mans, ...20 MB of unnecessary stuff

I'm not a JAVA guy, however this seems to be swapped: icedtea8-jdk and
icedtea8-jdk-base. I need the directory symlink mentioned only (to be
suggested by gdal).
