With Debian you do not need to set an absolute path, "java" will suffice. /usr/bin/java is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/java which in turn points to the real location of your java vm. When you change/update your java vm the debian install scripts should take care of updating the symlinks in /etc/alternatives. There are quite a few others, here's what I get when I grep for j2se : JavaPluginControlPanel -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/bin/JavaPluginControlPanel awt_robot -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/bin/awt_robot j2sdk-config -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/bin/j2sdk-config java -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/bin/java java.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/java.j2se13.1.gz javaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/netscape4/javaplugin.so javaplugin_oji-mozilla-0.9.1.so -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so javaplugin_oji-mozilla-0.9.2.so -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so javaplugin_oji-mozilla-cvs.so -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so javaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so keytool -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/bin/keytool keytool.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/keytool.j2se13.1.gz policytool -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/bin/policytool rmid -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/bin/rmid rmid.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/rmid.j2se13.1.gz rmiregistry -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/bin/rmiregistry rmiregistry.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/rmiregistry.j2se13.1.gz tnameserv -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/bin/tnameserv You might want to check /etc/alternatives/ for broken symlinks.
