icedtea6-plugin fails with error in maverick

[Philip Muškovac]

Firefox gives me an error notice and logs to .xsession-errors:
/build/buildd/openjdk-6-6b20~pre1/build/../plugin/icedteanp/IcedTeaNPPlugin.cc:1506: thread 0x7f919240f480: Error: Failed to spawn applet viewer: Failed to execute child process "/etc/alternatives/../../bin/java" (No such file or directory)

the chromium error from .xsession-errors is
[29871:29871:514784489985:ERROR:base/native_library_linux.cc(28)] dlopen failed when trying to open default_plugin: default_plugin: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

... I think, as the GUI only says "Missing Plug-in"

openjdk-6-jre and openjdk-6-jre-headless are installed.

where does /etc/alternatives/java point to?
ls -l /etc/alternatives/java
ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/

$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 2010-07-09 03:02 /etc/alternatives/java

can't see what goes wrong.

Closing as this stopped happening a while ago.
