I've experienced this problem today in dapper. I chose to remove sun- java5-* and install sun-java6-*, and this appeared to complete successfully. However, there is no longer any symlink in /etc/alternatives and so "java" is no longer on the path.
"sudo update-java-alternatives --list" does show java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun. A reboot does not fix this problem. -- [feisty] update-alternatives doesn't notice java6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84790 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
