Bug#540939: upgrade has broken several packages: gcj-4.4-jre-headless cannot be configured
Package: gcj-4.4-jre-headless
Version: 4.4.1-1
Severity: important
Doing 'aptitude safe-upgrade' on my squeeze system has resulted in
gcj-4.4-jre-headless being unable to be configured. The aptitude error is:
Setting up gcj-4.4-jre-headless (4.4.1-1) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative rmiregistry can't be master: it is a slave of java
dpkg: error processing gcj-4.4-jre-headless (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
This problem then causes several other packages to not be configurable
because they have dependency on gcj-4.4-jre-headless.
These broken packages are causing other problems and I cannot remove them
without uninstalling important packages like openoffice.
