Package: sablevm
Severity: normal
Hi,
I have gij installed.
I had installed sablevm, and set /etc/alternatives/java to sablevm (with
update-alternative --config) so, typing java launched /usr/bin/java-sablevm.
But after uninstalling, /etc/alternatives/java still pointed to
/usr/bin/java-sablevm: it had not been properly unregistered
In sablevm.postinst, there is
man=/usr/share/man/man1
update-alternatives \
--install /usr/bin/java java /usr/bin/java-sablevm 350 \
--slave $man/java.1.gz java.1.gz $man/java-sablevm.1.gz
variable $man is set but not exported, and update-alternatives is not on the
same line (there is no slash after $man variable setting), so on next line, $man
references blank line. So, sablevm alternative is not properly registered
Unfortunately:
- there is no error message from update-alternatives
- with update-alternatives --config java, I can manually set
etc/alternatives/java pointing to sablevm, but then symlink for java manual is
not set
- Although I can use, update-alternatives --config, I cannot use
update-alternatives --remove, that's the reason why sablevm alternative is not
properly unset in prerm
It works fine either with:
update-alternatives \
--install /usr/bin/java java /usr/bin/java-sablevm 350 \
--slave /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz java.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/java-sablevm.1.gz
or
man=/usr/share/man/man1 \
update-alternatives \
--install /usr/bin/java java /usr/bin/java-sablevm 350 \
--slave "$man/java.1.gz java.1.gz" "$man/java-sablevm.1.gz"
