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.
