Hello, I experienced the same issue. I updated from the sun-java5-* packages to openjdk-6-* on my Debian Lenny (using pinning), but the /etc/alternatives/* symlinks (including those related to the *-javaplugin.so alternatives) were not updated.
I ran the following command: apt-get --purge remove sun-java5-jre openjdk-6-jdk+ icedtea-gcjwebplugin+ Apart from this issue, apt-get executed successfully, and the execution of update-java-alternatives -s java-6-openjdk fixed the dangling symlinks.
