Hello,
I just did a 'zypper update' and now apparently all my links to my java stuff are broken, specifically all the java links in '/etc/alternatives/java*'... ...

Run /usr/sbin/update-alternatives as root.

Is it really necessary to run this command for each broken link in /etc/alternatives? And the invocation must supply the targe? At the moment, there are 52 broken symlinks in /etc/alternatives on my 10.3 system.
...
The upshot:
Run update-alternatives twice, once with --config --java and once with --config --javac. That should be enough, you do not need to worry about running it for each broken link.

I had the same problem. After an automatic update of jdk (from 1.6.0_02 to 1.6.0_03), I could not find any java or javac again. As root, I'm trying to start the command # update-alternatives --config --java but my system answered "No alternative for --javac" even if rpm and yast say the jdk is installed (all package with name starting java-1_6_0_sun* are installed Don't understand what happen ;) claude
Thanks.
