I think this issue has popped up again. Either it is a problem in the
documentation, or a problem with update-java-alternatives binary itself.
This is the output I get when using that command on Gutsy.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo update-java-alternatives --set --jre java-6-sun
usage: update-java-alternatives [--jre] [--plugin] [ -t|--test|-v|--verbose]
-l|--list [<jname>]
-s|--set <jname>
-a|--auto
-h|-?|--help
Whereas the command for JDK works perfectly -
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun
Using `/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/appletviewer' to provide `appletviewer'.
Using `/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/apt' to provide `apt'.
...
Here is some more info -
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy sun-java6-jre
sun-java6-jre:
Installed: 6-03-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 6-03-0ubuntu2
Please tell me if I need to provide any more info. Thanks.
