FYI, I was able to reproduce this and tracked down the problem. I got the hint from https://www.zarb.org/pipermail/jpackage-discuss/2005-July/008474.html It appears that somehow there were some "alterntives" remnants that were left from an earlier version of java, and I had the following: $ grep javaws /var/lib/alternatives/java javaws /usr/share/javaws javaws.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/javaws.1.gz But of course there was no /usr/share/javaws link. If I manually change this in /var/lib/alterntives/java from /usr/share/javaws to /usr/bin/javaws then the OpenJDK PostInstall script will run correctly and properly set up the alternatives.
