Bug#924706: icedtea-netx: javaws symlink is broken

[Jon DeVree]

Package: icedtea-netx
Version: 1.7.2-1
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,

The files in /usr/share/icedtea-web/bin have the wrong file names in the
new package and this breaks javaws. itweb-settings and policyeditor are
also broken.

In the old 1.7.1-1 package:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   33 Mar 15 23:53 /etc/alternatives/javaws -> /usr/share/icedtea-web/bin/javaws*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   24 Mar 15 23:53 /usr/bin/javaws -> /etc/alternatives/javaws*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5432 Oct 24 08:42 /usr/share/icedtea-web/bin/javaws*

In the new 1.7.2-1 package:
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/icedtea-web/bin/javaws': No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   33 Mar 15 23:53 /etc/alternatives/javaws -> /usr/share/icedtea-web/bin/javaws
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   24 Mar 15 23:53 /usr/bin/javaws -> /etc/alternatives/javaws

This is because the file is (presumably incorrectly) named with a .sh suffix in
the new package:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6287 Mar 15 18:44 /usr/share/icedtea-web/bin/javaws.sh*


If you do a fresh install instead of an upgrade you don't get any
symlinks at all:
ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/javaws': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '/etc/alternatives/javaws': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/icedtea-web/bin/javaws': No such file or directory
