Comment 7 for bug 1000272

TLDR: dpkg -P libswt-gtk-3.5-java libswt-gtk-3.5-jni fixed (plus clean uninstall/reinstall and precautionary clearing of ~/.eclipse)

14:47 < nthykier> +ii libswt-gtk-3.5-java 3.5.1+versionbump-5ubuntu1 Standard Widget Toolkit for GTK+ Java library
14:47 < nemo> that bad?
14:48 < nthykier> Could be; which alternative is providing /usr/share/java/swt.jar ? (ls -l /etc/alternatives/swt.jar should do)
14:48 < nemo> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Nov 9 2010 /etc/alternatives/swt.jar -> /usr/lib/java/swt-gtk-3.5.1.jar
14:49 < nemo> huh. alternatives does libs too? I would think those symlinks would be in /usr/lib
14:49 < nthykier> I am not entirely sure what is up with that use of alternatives, but personally I do not like it
14:50 < nthykier> It also caused bugs like #670756
14:50 < nthykier> try to uninstall the old swt (or update the alternative to point to the new version), purge ~/.eclipse and restart
14:52 < nemo> hm
14:52 < nemo> not really too sure how to do either...
14:52 < nemo> ~/.eclipse has been purged many times already :)
14:52 < nemo> when I check synaptic, only one version of swt-gtk is listed as available
14:52 < nthykier> "dpkg -P libswt-gtk-3.5-java libswt-gtk-3.5-jni" will purge them
