# update-alternatives --display javac javac - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3/bin/javac /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3/bin/javac - priority 1310 slave javac.ja.1.gz: /usr/share/man/ja/man1/javac.j2sdk13.1.gz slave javac.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/javac.j2sdk13.1.gz /usr/bin/jikes - priority 10 slave javac.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/jikes.1.gz Current `best' version is /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3/bin/javac. The approach I used to fix this was by creating the directory 'ja/man1' and doing 'touch javac.j2sdk13.1.gz'. Followed by "update-alternatives --remove javac /usr/share/man/ja/man1/javac.j2sdk13.1.gz" or something like that (tried various combinations; not sure exactly what is the correct path?). This solved the problem once before and this time, but every time I update something related to the javac or other java related man pages, the problem reappears. Note that doing a "ls -la /etc/alternatives/*.ja*" reveals a whole bunch of links to non-existent ja man pages (all related to the j2sdk13 package)... I would appreciate a tip on how to lose these links permanently; maybe even if I reinstall the j2sdk13 package.
