You will find the target of the alternative in the directory /usr/lib/jvm/1.6.0_19/plugin/i386/ns7/The update-java-alternatives command should sort this out. This will show you the available alternatives: /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives --list Then as root run something like update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun Note there's a load of java-related items which that command sets. Tosee the list, run /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives --verbose --listWhile the update-java-alternatives command is useful, it helps only if the package already provides an alternative. The OP has to set up the alternative manually.
or use backports.org to install a more recent version of Sun's java. Sjoerd
