Bug#929105: java-common: update-java-alternatives should not propagate return code of update-alternatives

[Christopher Huhn]

Package: java-common
Version: 0.71
Severity: normal

update-java-alternatives --set ... propagates the exit code of its last call to update-alternatives as its own exit code.

In my test case that is:
> root# update-alternatives --quiet --set serialver /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/serialver; echo $?
> update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for serialver
> 2

AFAICT this is normal behaviour for update-java-alternatives and therefore it should exit with 0.

Suggested fix: add a colon at the end of do_set.

Kind regards

Christopher
