Package: java-common Version: 0.71 Severity: normal update-java-alternatives --set ... propagates the exit code of its last call to update-alternatives as its own exit code.
In my test case that is: > root# update-alternatives --quiet --set serialver > /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/serialver; echo $? > update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for serialver > 2 AFAICT this is normal behaviour for update-java-alternatives and therefore it should exit with 0. Suggested fix: add a colon at the end of do_set.
