Thanks!

I *think* that has already been done by apt-get. The only
difference seems to be that you have java-6-sun-1.6.0.07 while I
have java-6-sun-1.6.0.10.

I have the following symbolic links:

 -/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins has
    libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/iceweasel-javaplugin.so
 -/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins has
    libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so
 -/etc/alternatives has
    iceweasel-javaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/
    i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    mozilla-javaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/
    i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
- /usr/lib/jvm has
    java-6-sun -> java-6-sun-1.6.0.10

and finally, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre/plugin/i386/ns7
has the file libjavaplugin_oji.so, perms -rwxr-xr-x, owned by
root, size 137021 bytes.

That seems OK to me. For good measure, I downgraded from the Sid
to the Lenny version -- i.e. from 1.6.0.10 to 1.6.0/07. But this
didn't help .. it is mysterious.

One thing: when re-installing (i.e. downgrading) sun-java there
was a warning:

update-binfmts: warning: current package is openjdk-6, but binary
format already installed by sun-java6

I don't know what this means. I have openjdk installed because it
was pulled in by the azureus package.
