Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: java-common
Using Ubuntu Hardy.
$ dpkg-query -W sun-java?-plugin java-common
java-common 0.28ubuntu3
sun-java5-plugin 1.5.0-15-0ubuntu1
sun-java6-plugin 6-05-0ubuntu1
I have both sun-java5-plugin and sun-java6-plugin installed. Using
update-java-alternatives I cannot seem to switch using sun-java5-plugin
if sun-java6-plugin is selected as a default first.
After 'update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun'
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/*java* | cut -d' ' -f8-10
/etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
/etc/alternatives/java.1.gz -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/man/man1/java.1.gz
/etc/alternatives/java_vm -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java_vm
/etc/alternatives/javaws -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/javaws
/etc/alternatives/javaws.1.gz ->
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/man/man1/javaws.1.gz
/etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so ->
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Then after 'update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun'
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/*java* | cut -d' ' -f8-10
/etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
/etc/alternatives/java.1.gz ->
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/man/man1/java.1.gz
/etc/alternatives/java_vm -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java_vm
/etc/alternatives/javaws -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/javaws
/etc/alternatives/javaws.1.gz ->
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/man/man1/javaws.1.gz
/etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so ->
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
It seems that other alternatives are changed correctly except the
plugin. If I remove the sun-java6-plugin package and then update-java-
alternatives for java-1.5.0, sun-java-5-plugin is selected correctly.
