rmid was never packaged as a slave for an alternative. You installed packges from another source. Not a problem with our openjdk packages.

Sorry just use automatic report from Ubuntu. I have only a crash reported as Gnome Shell notification after login and sometimes.

Is there a way (may be sourcecode) to find alternative slave list ? So I can clean my installation ?

search for the java alternative, which maybe is the master?

Sorry may be not clear about what I'm looking for. I know MY actual slave list but wanted to find the ones expected by openjdk package.
