Erro in Plugin Java 6 e solution

[Murilo Valadares]

Hello,
I would like to report that found a "bug" in your plugin package
"sun-java6-plugin", of java 6 for *Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 64 bits*.

*PROBLEM*
How to generate the error:
1 Install the plugin openjdk "*icedtea6-plugin*";
2 Uninstall this plugin "*icedtea6-plugin*";
3 Install the  sun-java plugin "*sun-java6-plugin*".

In this case the sun-java plugin (*sun-java6-plugin*) does not install the
file "*/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so*".


*SOLUTION*
I checked that the file "*libjavaplugin.so*" is installed somewhere else
with different name "*/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so*."
So, I decided to create this link "*sudo ln-s
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so*."
So, this worked right.


*QUESTION*
Because it is an *LTS* version (Long Term Support) Ubuntu, you could fix
this?
Could I help?

Thank you.
