[Bug 973861] [NEW] openjdk-6-jre-headless does not add correct links in /etc/alternatives

 

Public bug reported:

The last update of openjdk-6 forgot to include the links in
/etc/alternatives that allowed programs requiring the functionality of a
java development kit or java runtime environment to just invoke the
commands without specifying a full path.  This in turn causes problems
with some other packages which make the assumption that installing
openjdk-6 will allow them to access the required programs from the
system path
