Comment 11 for bug 84790

I have the same problem, and I have logged in rebooted logged out many times.

update-alternatives --list java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
/usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1
bryan@bryan-lin:~$ java
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
 * j2re1.4
 * gij-4.1
 * jamvm
 * cacao
 * sablevm
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled
bash: java: command not found
bryan@bryan-lin:~$

I have: sun-java6-bin sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
installed.

What more information can I provide to help this get fixed? / or is there some magical work around?
