Actual results: /usr/bin/javaws is broken. Expected results: /usr/bin/javaws finally points to /usr/libexec/icedtea-web/javaws Additional info:
Crap. I would swear I had verified that. Will elaborate.
I guess it is not reprodcuible in fresh install?
Hmm. I have not reprodcued it. During update, i correctly lost javaws.itweb and gained javaws.
Ok. found it. It looks like the alternatives were wrongly cleared for years. There is removal of javaws instead of javaws/arch
And another issue is nexpanded %{preffered_java} macro. Thanx for the report!
and last is the new target path not updating correctly... Update shoudl be in updates soon.

%{preffered_java} macro It would be nice to spell that correctly. Maybe the macro is correctly spelled "preferred" in the macro but the scriptlet is using "preffered"
