           Summary: Broken java-1_5_0-sun* packages
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Firefox
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: rodrigo@xxxxxxxxxx

          Found By: Development


I have the following packages installed:

java-1_5_0-sun-plugin-1.5.0_update12-23
java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_update12-23

But when opening a page on Firefox with a Java applet, I see a 'missing plugin'
broken image. Furthermore, about:plugins on Firefox does not show any trace of
a Java plugin.

Investigating further, I see the /etc/alternatives/java links to a non-existing
file:

panticosa:/home # ls -l /etc/alternatives/jre
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2007-10-17 01:14 /etc/alternatives/jre ->
/usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun
panticosa:/home # ls -l /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2007-10-17 01:14 /etc/alternatives/java ->
/usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/java
panticosa:/home # ls -l /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/
ls: cannot access /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/: No such file or directory

The same happens for all java-1.5-related files in /etc/alternatives. Seems the
correct files are in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update12/jre/*. In fact,
this is a new installation, on x86_64, and the same worked perfectly on a new
installation on i386, so it seems some 64-bit-related paths are broken.
