Re: java installation bug
I think this has something to do with gij-4.0; it lists rmiregistry as a slave:
# update-alternatives --display java
java - manual mode
link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
/usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.0 - priority 40
slave java.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/gij-wrapper-4.0.1.gz
slave rmiregistry: /usr/bin/grmiregistry-4.0
slave rmiregistry.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/grmiregistry-4.0.1.gz
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java - priority 315
slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/man/man1/java.1.gz
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java - priority 53
slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/man/man1/java.1.gz
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java - priority 63
slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/man/man1/java.1.gz
Current `best' version is /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java.
note the other java alternatives do not.
Removing gij-4.0 worked for me.
Cheers,
Elizabeth
