"about:plugins" in firefox does not list java plugin as installed. Attempting to go to a java tutorial on applets on the sun website redirects me instead to a page claiming I don't have the right version of Java installed. Apparently, there is a problem with update-alternatives: update-alternatives --config java update-alternatives: internal error: /var/lib/rpm/alternatives/java corrupt: priority /usr/lib/jvm-exports/jre-1.6.0-sun /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load the page http://www.janko.at/Raetsel/Nonogramme/001.a.htm 2. 3. Actual Results: An image displayed Expected Results: Instead of the image, there should be a Java applet that allows one to click on individual cells and change them.

The easiest way how to fix that is uninstall all java packages, remove the /var/lib/rpm/alternatives/java and install it again. Note the java-1_5-0-sun packages are available in Java:sun:Factory project.

Note that I didn't try to install java-1_5-0-sun, I didn't really need those, they were just holdouts from earlier installs. But as a fix it was really painful: attempting to uninstall Java created a real dependency hell, since I had a ton of packages that depend on it, and it was a real mess in Yast. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Sorry, I use commandline for ages, so I forgot to mention, that this would be done using rpm -e --nodeps, which ignore dependencies. But I assume the problem is gone (not fixed, just workarounded), so I close this bug. If I'm wrong, please reopen. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
