Title:
  IcedTeaPlugin.so reference should be removed from .java-1.8.0-openjdk-
  amd64.jinfo

Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  IcedTeaPlugin.so has been removed from icedtea-8-plugin because the
  NPAPI support in browsers has been removed.  Therefore, the
  openjdk-8-jre-headless package should remove the reference to
  IcedTeaPlugin.so in .java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64.jinfo because it causes
  an error to be thrown when switching between java versions when using
  update-java-alternatives.  This affects all versions of ubuntu using
  the openjdk-8-jre-headless package.

  Example:
  update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for mozilla-javaplugin.so
  update-java-alternatives: plugin alternative does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
