Upgrading libaccess-bridge-java in karmic today leads to the following error message:

Error:java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext/libjava-access-bridge-jni.so
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext/libjava-access-bridge-jni.so

Looking at content of java-access-bridge package (marked as "all", non architecture specific) found this libraries:

/usr/lib/libjava-access-bridge-jni.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libjava-access-bridge-jni.a

which are 32 bit on my 64 bit system. Seems that java-access-bridge is architecture specific and cannot be marked as "all".
I had to recompile package for my system in order to avoid link error, and make symlinks of /usr/lib/libjava-access-bridge-jni.so under /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext.

Needs either a package split or architecture specific package.

The problem with symlinks are not fixed. UI applications using OpenJdk are still trying to access library /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext/libjava-access-bridge-jni.so. But there no so symlink here.

Version: libaccess-bridge-java-jni (1.26.0-0ubuntu5)

There are 3 alternatives which provide `java'.
