# update-alternatives --config java

There are 2 programs which provide `java'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
      1        /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
*+    2        /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java

Enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number:

Changed it to 1 and still no java

# update-alternatives --config java

There are 2 programs which provide `java'.

And what is 'update-alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so.x86_64' showing to you?

Might it be possible that icedtea-web was installed before java and that's why it's broken? Requires must be set so that java is installed first and then icedtea-web?

So java seems to be installed first but it fails to update alternatives :/

Strange... Just tested with both DVD 32 and 64 and all is working perfectly here

The problem on a clean install, is that icedtea-web is getting installed before
firefox, so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins doesn't exist.

icedtea-web needs a requires on firefox.

CC: (none) => davidwhodgins

Actually, rather then a requires on firefox, I guess it should be set up
like flash-player-plugin, where multiple packages own
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

fixed in icedtea-web-1.2-3.mga2

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

I'm not so sure about it.

I would say there are two bugs remaining.

# Post requires alternatives to install plugin alternative.
Requires(postun): update-alternatives

# Postun requires alternatives to uninstall plugin alternative.
Requires(postun): update-alternatives

First one should be "Requires(post)" not "Requires(postun)".

And 

# For the mozilla plugin dir
Requires:       mozilla-filesystem%{?_isa}

should be done the same way, so that it's sure that mozilla-filesystem is installed before icedtea-web. At the moment it requires this package but doesn't guarantee that it's actually installed before.

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED => (none)

should be ok now. Thanks for your remarks.

Yeah, that should work.

Status: REOPENED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
