tools/jpackage/linux - tests (from 8212780: Packaging Tool Implementation)

[Baesken, Matthias]

Hi Alexey, thanks for confirming  . 
I opened for this issue :

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8238947
8238947: tools/jpackage tests fail with old rpmbuild versions

Is there  already a good place in the  tools/jpackage  test coding,  where we could   adjust the rpmbuild version check (e.g. to 4.10+ ) ?


Best Regards, Matthias
