jre/lib/security/cacerts symlink is broken

[Chris J Arges]

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/security/cacerts points to /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts which is a non-existent directory. I have verified that ca-certificates-java is installed. This causes problems with applications that use java certificates like google app engine / eclipse.

Matthias, I think this is one of the bugs you mentioned with the openjdk-7 packaging not being up-to-date wrt the openjdk-6 packaging?

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

the symlink exists in precise, and in quantal. note that cacerts isn't a directory, but a file.
