Erroneous Java JRE PATH in a .profile after ugrading from 10.04 to 10.10

Asked by olcol on 2010-10-06

Erroneous Java JRE PATH in .profile after ugrading from 10.04 to 10.10
and installing sun-java6 packages.

Below is the definition of PATH in my .profile file:
PATH="$PATH:/opt/java/jre1.6.0_20/bin"

Below is the real PATH for my JRE binaries:
PATH="$PATH:/opt/java/jre1.6.0_20/bin"

There is no /opt in my filesystem.

Is it a bug in the uprade process or in the sun-java6 package
installation process or both or did I miss something?

Thanks for your replies and all the good job done on this wonderful distro.

Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) is shipped with sun-java6-jre1.6.0_21 it might be an upgrade issue. You could try the following, open a terminal: 'Applications->Accesories->Terminal' and type 'update-alternatives --config java' (without the apostrophes), or 'update-java-alternatives -l' to find out if any jvm remains on your system.

Note, before doing that, comment (add a '#' at the beginning) the java related paths in your '.profile' file.

Hope this helps!
