That may very well be the case. However, that means that
my Skolelinux-upgraded-to-Sid system is broken. Either by me,
or by some chain of events, possibly going back to Skolelinux.
I would like to know.
This may be a corner case where the error handling simply does
not cut it. A situation where the simplest solution may be a
reinstall has room for improvement.

Thank you. I would like some more hints on troubleshooting
the Java environment.
