Bug#668943: activemq: fails to start, missing file /usr/share/java/activemq-run.jar (from symlink)

[Steven Post]

Package: activemq
Version: 5.5.0+dfsg-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I installed the activemq package (Wheezy, AMD64), but after configuring the
software it failed to start.
Running the following command gave more information about the problem:
/etc/init.d/activemq console main

Starting with Console ActiveMQ instance : mainINFO: Loading '/etc/activemq
/instances-enabled/main/options'
INFO: Using java '/usr/bin/java'
INFO: Starting in foreground, this is just for debugging purposes (stop process
by pressing CTRL+C)
ERROR: '/usr/share/activemq/bin/run.jar' does not exist

Upon inspection the file "/usr/share/activemq/bin/run.jar" is a symlink
pointing to "/usr/share/java/activemq-run.jar" which does not exist.

Activemq ran fine on my previous i386 Wheezy installation, which I replaced
March 30th by this AMD64 installation. I only now got to installing ActiveMQ
again.
Therefore I believe this to be a regression from version 5.5.0+dfsg-5 which ran
fine.

Kind regards,
Steven
