Installing JDK on Oracle Linux got this error error: Failed dependencies: bin/basename is needed by jdk-2000:1.6.0_38-fcs.x86_64

Problem

I was trying to setup my Oracle Enterprise Linux docker container with JDK and ran into this problem when I tried to execute the rpm.bin file, couldnt figure out the reason after tons of searches on internet and eventually solved it as mentioned in the Solution.

bash-4.1# cp /Software/linux/java/jdk-6u38-linux-x64-rpm.bin .
bash-4.1# chmod 755 jdk-6u38-linux-x64-rpm.bin
bash-4.1# ./jdk-6u38-linux-x64-rpm.bin

Solution

Download the .bin file which doesnt say .rpm.bin and follow the same installation process and it just works :)
