[fedora-java] failed to read link /usr/bin/javaws: No such file or directory
Hi,
I installed Oracle JDK on my Fedora 23 KDE box. I setup alternatives as follow
[1].
alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/default/jre/bin/javaws
200000
This doesn't always work and result in the error in the subject like. It can
be fixed by following [2].
rm /var/lib/alternatives/javaws
alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/default/jre/bin/javaws
200000
I am curious why does it happen. Why does the link fail?
