Hello, sorry - I forgot to mention how this error happened and how to reproduce (afterall I cannot reproduce anymore). I followed steps mentioned here: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-sun-oracle-java-jdk-jre-6-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/ to implement current Oracle JDK 1.7 During step; # alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_07/jre/bin/javaws 20000 it failed, as there was missing link /usr/bin/javaws (all other went fine: java, javac, ,...) So I thought I check it via the visual tool "galternatives", but it hung. I think this caused the error. Then I finally fixed it by using alternatives directly (I forgot again what I did to fix it). Afterwards "galternatives" was fine as well (no errors anymore) Thank you and regards, Henning
I'm glad you were able to resolve this issue. I'm going to go ahead and close the bug. Thanks.
