I didn't say you should run update-java-alternatives. I am aware that you do not want to overwrite the user's choices. This, however, is exactly the problem. The user's choices are currently LOST, because the path changes.
We need to keep the user's choices from upgrade to upgrade. If you mark this bug as rejected, then the user's choices will fail to take effect whenever a path changes because of an upgrade, and you will have an occurence of the very thing you are saying you want to avoid. -- java alternatives are not updated with the package, causing dangling symlinks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93619 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
