[Bug 1700292] Re: Removing package openjdk-9-jre-headless does not delete/change links in Debian Alternatives System
** Description changed:
This issue affects Ubuntu 16.04.
When having openjdk-8-jre-headless (8u131-b11-0ubuntu1.16.04.2)
installed and installing openjdk-9-jre-headless (9~b114-0ubuntu1) all
links in the Debian Alternatives System are changed pointing to JRE 9:

$ for a in rmid java keytool jjs pack200 rmiregistry unpack200 orbd
servertool tnameserv jexec ; do sudo update-alternatives --auto "$a" ;

Or purge and reinstall the complete JRE 8 which will also affect all
