I cannot simulate this issue. What combination of updates breaks your system? I
cannot break these link on my test system (and the last update contains the
workaround which solve the /etc/alternatives bugs).
# the directory b0 contains the 1.5.0.u1 and the b3 the 1.5.0.u3-sr2

javaplugin - status is auto.
link currently points to
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13-sr2/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13-sr2/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
- priority 1514
Current `best' version is
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13-sr2/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so.
JFYI, the symlinks in /etc/alternatives are maintained by update-alternatives
script, which could tell more about your problem (update-alternatives --display
javaplugin). ln -s breaks the update-alternatives history and future update of
java will not change this symlink. A better workaround of this issue is to
delete the javaplugin symlink and type (as root)
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/browser-plugins/javaplugin.so
javaplugin
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13-sr2/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
1514
And the javaplugin works good on my test system (I've try the
java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/BarChart/example1.html) without
problem. Do you have a x86_64 or i386?
