Re: Why is /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/sun-java6-6-12/jdk1.6.0_12 not recognized in update-alternatives?

Well, you're right.

But I've found

What do you suggest now?

I think because you installed the package from outside Debian repos and
so it got not recognized inside the whole package database.

If it's not there, I guess it won't be detected/managed by "update-
alternatives" :-?



Hmmm, by creating a symbolic link in the above dir? But maybe not the
better way, though. I would read "man update-alternatives" to find out.


It's there:


Sure...? :-P


# ls -l /etc/alternatives | grep "java-6-sun"

Let's compare with mine:


stt008:~# update-alternatives --config java

Hay 3 alternativas que proveen `java'.

Selección Alternativa
-----------------------------------------------
1 /usr/bin/gij-4.3
+ 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java
* 3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java


So, we are looking for "*java*" alternatives, right? :-)

And...

sm01@stt008:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives | grep "java-6-sun"

(...)

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 nov 15 2009 java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 jun 27 12:35 javaws.1.gz -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/man/man1/javaws.1.gz

I think the "java" link is the one you are missing.
