The alternative was set to be manually configured, which is why it didn't change automatically on installation of the j2re package. The last command, 'update-alternatives --auto java', will set it back to autoconfiguration. 'update-alternatives --display java' should now show something like: # update-alternatives --display java java - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java - priority 315 slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/man/man1/java.1.gz I'm glad your issue is resolved!
