[...] Eric, After investigating this issue, I am not sure why you had an problems using java-package; the use of update-alternatives has been correct in the Sun JRE/JDK scripts for some time. The usage pattern is shown below: update-alternatives \ --install "/usr/bin/$program" "$program" \ "$j2se_base/bin/$program" "$priority" \ --slave "/usr/share/man/man1/$program.1.gz" "$program.1.gz" \ "$j2se_base/man/man1/$program.1.gz" The man page for update-alternatives refers to its first parameter as "genname"; this parameter in the example is shown as "/usr/bin/editor"; for details on why please refer to the full text of the manpage. The usage pattern for update-alternatives in java-package is in fact correct. Should you run into problems using java-package in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.
