Package: openjdk-6 Version: 6b11-9 Severity: important Justification: Broken for average user unless he/she knows about update-java-alternatives
Hi out there, when switching from another JVM[0] (which means java-common is already installed) the links in /etc/alternatives only get removed but not set for openjdk-6-*, which means an average user has a »broken« installation (can't invoke e.g. java on the shell). This problem can be fixed manually by invoking > update-java-alternatives -a [--jre[-headless]] but that script isn't really known by most users. It seems to me, that update-java-alternatives isn't called in the postinstall stage of openjdk-6-jre[-headless]. Please fix this to ease the transition from Sun's (or any other) JVM to the OpenJDK JVM. Thank you in advance for your effort. Greetings, Kai [0] In all cases it was switched over from sun-java6-* to the openjdk-6-* pendants. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27.3-cabal Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- Kai Wasserbäch (Kai Wasserbaech) E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber (debianforum.de): Drizzt URL: http://wiki.debianforum.de/Drizzt_Do%27Urden GnuPG: 0xE1DE59D2 0600 96CE F3C8 E733 E5B6 1587 A309 D76C E1DE 59D2 (http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de/pks/lookup?search=0xE1DE59D2&fingerprint=on&hash=on&op=vindex)
