Sorry, I posted a "broken line" command with no further advice. Full command should be (all in one line): *** update-alternatives --display firefox-javaplugin.so *** Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

"update-alternatives" output shows that the wrong java plugin version is being picked (openJDK instead Sun's Java one). Mmmm, try first to setup with "update-alternatives", but in this form (one line): *** update-alternatives --config firefox-javaplugin.so *** Look if the above command let you choose between the two options and choose the Sun's one. If that does not work, you can try with the steps provided in Oracle/Sun site (manual way).

Nothing to configure. This has been my problem all along -- how to get update-alternatives to recognize *any* alternative except the ones provided by debian packages, the one mentioned above, the sun-java6 6-12-1 set of packages and java-gcj. > If that does not work, you can try with the steps provided in Oracle/Sun > site (manual way). Likely the next step, unless I can use the java version in lenny-backports non-free.

I used the "update-alternatives" method when I installed the JRE package from Debian contrib repo. That worked fine. As long as the java installation is performed from "the ouside" (by using Oracle-Sun own packages) maybe this method stops working :-? >> If that does not work, you can try with the steps provided in >> Oracle/Sun site (manual way). > > Likely the next step, unless I can use the java version in > lenny-backports non-free.
