Subject: sun-java6-plugin: package does not register with alternatives

Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 02:07:12 -0700

Package: sun-java6-plugin
Version: 6-14-1
Severity: important


Installing the package does not make the plugin available to the
alternatives system. For example:

    $ sudo update-alternatives --config iceweasel-javaplugin.so
    There is only one alternative in link group iceweasel-javaplugin.so: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so
    Nothing to configure.

    $ apt-show-versions sun-java6-plugin
    sun-java6-plugin/testing uptodate 6-14-1

    $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/ | grep javaplugin
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  57 2008-09-05 00:32 firefox-javaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  57 2008-09-05 00:32 iceape-javaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  57 2008-09-05 00:32 iceweasel-javaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  58 2009-06-21 18:36 mozilla-javaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  57 2008-09-05 00:32 xulrunner-javaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so

Removing icedtea6 doesn't resolve the problem, as the plugin is still not registered.
