Package: openjdk-11-jre-headless
Version: 11.0.6+10-1~deb10u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
installing openjdk-11-jre-headless on the official debian:buster-slim
docker image results in a fatal dpkg installation error:
update-alternatives: error: error creating symbolic link '/usr/share/man/man1/rm
id.1.gz.dpkg-tmp': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package openjdk-11-jre-headless:amd64 (--configure):
installed openjdk-11-jre-headless:amd64 package post-installation script subpro
cess returned error exit status 2
This can be fixed by manually creating the /usr/share/man/man1/
directory.

My merge request at [1] was merged my Matthias Klose today and the fix
is available in sid in openjdk [25~22ea-1][2].
To verify this bug I ran:
docker run -it debian:sid bash
root@f75eb3cfe0dc:/# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux trixie/sid"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_CODENAME=trixie
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/";
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support";
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/";
Then I ran:
apt update && apt upgrade
Then I ran:
apt install -y openjdk-25-jre-headless
(it installed correctly)
Then I ran:
java --version
openjdk 25-ea 2025-09-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 25-ea+22-Debian-1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25-ea+22-Debian-1, mixed mode, sharing)
apt-cache policy openjdk-25-jre-headless shows:
openjdk-25-jre-headless:
Installed: 25~22ea-1
Candidate: 25~22ea-1
Version table:
*** 25~22ea-1 500
500 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Thus I believe this bug can be closed.

Sebastian
