</I>You need to wait for Mageia's own Java RPM to be updated.  One of the 
primary differences between different distro RPMs is file placement.  
You can't expect an Oracle RPM to have knowledge of Mageia's choices for 
file placement.

BTW, a 0-day security flaw has just been announced for Java 1.7, and 
people are recommending that Java in browsers be disabled until Oracle 
can issue a patch (perhaps not until October 16).
