You are correct. It should be 904. Mea culpa.

[Jgeneral] Error during installation of J9.4

2023-03-04 Thread Robin Niemeyer
 I am running Linux Mint which is ubuntu/debian based.

I got the error message:
update-alternatives: priority must be an integer
during installation of J9.4

The command in install-usr.sh causing the message was:
update-alternatives --install $BIN/ijconsole ijconsole $BIN/ijconsole-9.4
9.4

The final parameter 9.4 should be an integer.
Some standard way of converting between version number and an integer
should be used.
I used a three digit approach for myself:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ijconsole ijconsole
/usr/bin/ijconsole-9.4 940

This way it would get a higher priority than 9.03 --> 903 where just using
94 would be a lower priority.
