I'm using a 64-bit (amd64) kernel, but I want to use a 32-bit JVM for
compatibility. After installing ia32-sun-java6-bin, I tried to tell
firefox to use the 32-bit version of the plugin:

$ sudo update-java-alternatives --plugin--verbose --set ia32-java-6-sun
resetting java alternatives
No alternatives for firefox-3.0-javaplugin.so.
No alternatives for firefox-javaplugin.so.
No alternatives for iceape-javaplugin.so.
No alternatives for iceweasel-javaplugin.so.
No alternatives for midbrowser-javaplugin.so.
No alternatives for mozilla-javaplugin.so.
No alternatives for firefox-javaplugin.so.
No alternatives for iceape-javaplugin.so.
No alternatives for iceweasel-javaplugin.so.

update-alternatives: Cannot find alternative 
`/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so'.
$ file /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so: ELF 
32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, 
not stripped

The file exists, but doesn't appear to be installed as an alternative
for the browser java plugin. This may be related to 226911, but wasn't
fixed by the fix for that issue.
