Is not actually a bug in openjdk-6. The problem only relates to the *-plugin packages that provide java applet support for web browsers. Not filing a bug against icedtea-gcjwebplugin, because icedtea-gcjwebplugin appears to be defunct, so presumably nobody is watching and fixing bugs on that package.
-- [lucid] icedtea-gcjwebplugin is removed on upgrade, should do something graceful to keep plugin working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561040 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu. Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: update-manager Before upgrading from Karmic to Lucid beta 2, I had the icedtea6-plugin package installed and selected, and java applets were working in firefox. After upgrading, icedtea6-plugin was deselected, and no java plugin showed up in firefox when I entered about:plugins in the URL bar. To make java applets work again, I had to do an apt-get install icedtea6-plugin to reselect the package. The package was still cached on my system; it just needed to be reselected manually.
