Hello! I had never seen this behaviour. And I 'm doing updates/downgrades/install/uninstalls of jdk pretty often. both manually and automatically. > I did a dnf provides /var/lib/alternatives/jre_1.8.0 and got no results. Thats correct. It is alternatives driven record. So nobody can provides it. I think some old, wrong alternative persisted on your system, and for some reason did not disapeard during updates. Or you were playing withalterantives and remained (even unintentionally) in inconsistent state. Try the commands provided later in this reply. however - see http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/java-1.8.0-openjdk.git/tree/java-1.8.0-openjdk.spec#n288 - this is valid target. and file /var/lib/alternatives/jre_1.8.0 /var/lib/alternatives/jre_1.8.0: ASCII text :) Thats sequence of links, going through alternatives databse [1] - ending by directory. See: alternatives --config jre_1.8.0 Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64-debug/jre *+ 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64/jre (or alternatives --config jre_1.8.0_openjdk) (or alternatives --config jre_openjdk) ll /usr//lib/jvm ... jre -> /etc/alternatives/jre jre-1.8.0 -> /etc/alternatives/jre_1.8.0 jre-1.8.0-openjdk -> /etc/alternatives/jre_1.8.0_openjdk jre-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64 -> java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64/jre ... readlink /etc/alternatives/jre_1.8.0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64/jre [1] cat /var/lib/alternatives/jre_1.8.0 auto /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.8.0 jre_1.8.0_exports /usr/lib/jvm-exports/jre-1.8.0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64-debug/jre @java-1.8.0-openjdk@1800071 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64-debug/jre /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64/jre @java-1.8.0-openjdk@1800072 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64/jre So the error you are enountering is IN /var/lib/alternatives/jre_1.8.0 and maybe caused bny wrong alternatives (both app and settings) May you: cat /var/lib/alternatives/jre_1.8.0 Select (As root) alternatives --config jre_1.8.0 manually and (second times) cat /var/lib/alternatives/jre_1.8.0 For me? I don't program in java and have not played with alternatives. I do use javascript for Gnome Shell extensions but I am sure that is not related.
As shown below alternatives --config jre_1.8.0 did not change /var/lib/alternatives/jre_1.8.0.

Is 71-1 OK?
Thak you for additional info. You mus tsee on your own, that: [root@valkyrie3 bogwan]# cat /var/lib/alternatives/jre_1.8.0 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <schemalist> <schema id="org.gnome.totem.plugins.opensubtitles" path="/org/gnome/Totem/opensubtitles/" gettext-domain="totem"> <key name="language" type="s"> <default>''</default> <summary>Subtitle language</summary> <description>The language to search for subtitles for movies in.</description> </key> </schema> </schemalist> is VERY wrong. I dont know how you managed that... From any point of view this is close not-a-bug. I'm not sure how to fix your machine. Best may be to replace content of yours /var/lib/alternatives/jre_1.8.0 by mine: cat /var/lib/alternatives/jre_1.8.0 (just with proer paths, so it points to the verison of java you have (but I have latest so you may be equals) auto /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.8.0 jre_1.8.0_exports /usr/lib/jvm-exports/jre-1.8.0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64-debug/jre @java-1.8.0-openjdk@1800071 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64-debug/jre /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64/jre @java-1.8.0-openjdk@1800072 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64/jre I will attach the file as attachement so there is no confusion in whitesapces/emtpy chars.... Although I'm closing this as not-a-bug, feel free to ask here for any other help on this topic. Created attachment 1131084 [details]

Thanks for your help. Please excuse this long comment but I found something very interesting.
