Package: gcj-4.0
Version: 4.0.2-5j1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software


Hi,

I noticed several times that after upgrades /usr/bin/javah disappears.
I usually notice this when compilation of JNI code breaks. Now I
found out the problem being caused by the upgrade of gcj-4.0.

Before upgrade:

        # ls -l /usr/bin/javah
        lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2005-12-04 18:20 /usr/bin/javah -> 
/etc/alternatives/javah

        # update-alternatives --display javah
        javah - status is manual.
         link currently points to /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/javah
        /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/javah - priority 315
         slave javah.1.gz: /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/man/man1/javah.1.gz
        /usr/bin/javah-j2sdk1.4-ibm - priority 314
        /etc/alternatives/kaffe-system/bin/javah - priority 300
         slave javah.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/javah.kaffe.1.gz
        /usr/bin/javah-cp - priority 350
         slave javah.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/javah-cp.1.gz
        Current `best' version is /usr/bin/javah-cp.

        Current `best' version is /usr/bin/javah-cp.
