Title:
  java alternative link broken after upgrade

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After recent upgrade to precise, I find that java programs are broken.
  Further investigation shows:

  
  $ update-alternatives --display java
  update-alternatives: warning: alternative /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java (part of link group java) doesn't exist. Removing from list of alternatives.
  java - auto mode
    link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
  No versions available.

  $ dpkg -L openjdk-6-jre-headless | grep bin/java
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/bin/java-rmi.cgi
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/bin/java

  
  It seems that openjdk-6-jre-headless now has a 'amd64' in its path that wasn't there before.  This was not accounted for on upgrade and my /usr/bin/java link is broken.

  An attempt to fix with update-java-alternatives failed, and made me worse off, I now have no /usr/bin/java link.
   $ sudo update-java-alternatives  --set java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64
   update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for appletviewer.
   update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for apt.
   update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for extcheck.
  ...
    update-java-alternatives: jdk alternative does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/bin/xjc
  update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for policytool.
  update-java-alternatives: plugin alternative does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
