Bug Description
after upgrading to precise, the java alternatives symlinks seem to be broken, and not fixed by update-
mbp@joy% sudo update-
resetting java alternatives

(or similarly with --auto)
the binary files do exist and the .jinfo file seems valid. It is true there is no java alternative in /etc/alternatives.

running the postinst configure script for the jdk packages seems to have reestablished the alternatives. I'm not sure how it got this way.
