Public bug reported:

Alternatives for jexec have been excluded from the latest version of
openjdk-8-jre-headless (8u402) and this causes update-java-alternatives
to throw the following error:

update-alternatives: error: alternative /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-
amd64/jre/lib/jexec for jexec not registered; not setting

Solution:

Reference to jexec should be removed from
/usr/lib/jvm/.java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64.jinfo since update-java-
alternatives uses this file to determine what alternatives to create.
