Package: java-common
Version: 0.45
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Symptoms (end-user point of view) :
1) no more communication between LibreOffice an Zotero (3.0beta2) or Zotero
Standalone (ditto). A look at Zotero site suggested to switch to OpenJDK (I
also have sun's, as current default), which led to :
2) one cannot switch java installations with update-alternatives-java :
root@eee-ec:/home/charpent# update-java-alternatives --list
java-1.6.0-openjdk-i386 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-i386
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
root@eee-ec:/home/charpent# update-java-alternatives --set
java-1.6.0-openjdk-i386
update-alternatives: erreur: pas d'alternatives pour -javaplugin.so.
update-alternatives: erreur: pas d'alternatives pour -javaplugin.so.
root@eee-ec:/home/charpent# update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun
update-alternatives: erreur: pas d'alternatives pour -javaplugin.so.
==> Leads to a hosed LibreOffice/zotero subsystem (major funcionality for
me...). I seriously considered reportig this bug as critical (since it beaks
unrelated software), but settled to important (renders the package unusable for
most uses, but I cannot prove it is effectively unusable for *all* purposes...
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
regular (frequent) updates to a debian wheezy system
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
See above for symptoms.
Tried to reinstall openJDK : no change to symptoms.
Did *not* try to reinstall sun Java6 packages, which are no longer available in
Wheezy.
* What was the outcome of this action?
No modification of symptoms ; no possibility to switch java installations.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
At least to be able to switch existing java implementations...
