"Me too" on Hardy x86 32bit with java-1.5.0-sun and java-6-sun

Replacing xulrunner-addons-javaplugin.so with
xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so in /usr/lib/jvm/.java-1.5.0-sun.jinfo and
/usr/lib/jvm/.java-6-sun.jinfo allows me to switch back and forth
between versions of the plugins now.

Previously, I was seeing the error message reported above ("No
alternatives for xulrunner-addons-javaplugin.so.") when running either
"sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun" or "sudo update-java-
alternatives -s java-6-sun".

javaplugin alternatives are installed incorrectly leading to errors from update-java-alternatives

The postinst script installs an alternative called "xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so" but the jinfo file contains the name "xulrunner-addons-javaplugin.so". The mismatch prevents update-java-alternatives from working properly - for example, try "update-java-alternatives --plugin --set java-6-sun" and it reports "No alternatives for xulrunner-addons-javaplugin.so."


I believe all of the above is also a problem for the sun-java5-* packages.
