imagej won't start (xenial)

[Rodrigo G]

After installation, attempting to run imagej gives the following error:

$ imagej
Open other images in this ImageJ panel as follows:
  imagej -p 1 <image1> [<image2> ... <imageN>]

No JVM found to run ImageJ
Please apt-get install a JVM to run ImageJ or
set JAVA_HOME if it's not a JVM from a Debian Package.

Apparently there is an error in the /usr/bin/imagej start script, and can be fixed by changing line 32:

JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives -l | grep openjdk | sort | tail -1 | cut -d' ' -f 3)
to
JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives -l | grep openjdk | sort | tail -1 | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f 3)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It still happens on Bionic.
