Bug Description

After upgrading openjdk-6 packages to version 6b23~pre11-1ubuntu2 path to the java executables changed from /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386. However alternatives are not updated and still point to the old location.

I just noticed the same on amd64. After the oneiric->precise upgrade, I'm left with

  /etc/alternatives/javac -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/javac

but the binary is in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac

I purged and reinstalled openjdk-6-jdk, the alternatives are correct now. So this needs fixing on upgrade.

This bug was fixed in the package openjdk-6 - 6b24-1.11-0ubuntu1

---------------
openjdk-6 (6b24-1.11-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * IcedTea6 1.11 release.

  [ Luke Yelavich ]
  * Use java-atk-wrapper instead of java-access-bridge for accessibility.
    LP: #790240.

  [ Matthias Klose ]
  * nss.cfg: Remove nssLibraryDirectory property, rely on the system
    library path.
  * Make the java.policy file multi-arch installable. LP: #924096.
  * Don't install desktop and menu files for multiarch builds.
    Needs a better solution. Closes: #658321
  * Pass -n to gzip when compressing manpages to be Multi-Arch: same safe.
  * Don't install an alternative for the deprecated apt tool.
  * Make the upgrade from a non-multiarch installation location more
    robust; don't depend on version numbers, but check the path of the
    alternatives. LP: #887077.
  * Always use the internal copy of liblcms1; only OpenJDK 7 has the
    support to use a system liblcms2.
  * Build jamvm on powerpc.
