My bash shows a good link to a jar to be cyan for the link > and red for the jar, but a bad link red for both. In my case it is cyan for the link and red for the jar too. However if I install a working package from Sid then it is cyan for the link and green for the jar. > > is /usr/share/java/epubcheck.jar executable? That's the best explanation I > have for this behaviour. It is executable only via java -jar. If I just run /usr/share/java/epubcheck.jar it's "Permission denied". However with older epubcheck package from Sid the jar in /usr/share/java is displayed in green! That's the whole reason for the problem. How to grant execute permission to jar when it is installed to /usr/share/java? It has to be green in order for the link to work.
