Hi

I want to report a little problem after install sun-jdk1.5 via backports. The symlink to mozilla plugin isn't correct, and the browser can't find it out of the box.

Apt installs the symlink in "/etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so" and points to "/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so".

But the correct path to mozilla (or firefox) javaplugin is:

"/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so"

After edit the respective symlink path to mozilla/firefox plugin, the browser could find it and presented through "about:plugins".

Well, that's all....

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so

I did it before, but I think that the package must be corrected.

Thank you,,,
