Several reports after 9.04 -> 9. 10 that the 'headless Java' is damaged

[Chris Jones]

After running a network upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 dpkg reported that the 'headless jdk' was installed but not configured.
Attempting to configure it generated errors relating to alternatives and 'keytool'.
Removiwd all alternatives associated with java and attempted to reconfigure and the configuration reported good.
However the installation is still reporting problems with headless jdk and there seems to be a recursive failure.

Attempted clarification :
... and there seems to be a recursive failure {with apport}.
 That is; It crashes when it tries to read (?) the the /var/crash file from the installation that points at the JDK.
 Clearing /var/crash of the jdk and apport crashes seems to leave a system that runs clean.

this doesn't seem to be related to openjdk. there are some warnings, but nothing more

Hello
Is this problem present with the latest updated Karmic's or Lucid's packages?
Thanks in advance

I did not see a reoccurrence when updating from 9.10 to 10.04.
