The oracle-java-installer packages mess around with distribution packages, nam
ely the postinst runs
#create default-java symbolic link
rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/default-java
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle /usr/lib/jvm/default-java
the prerm runs
rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/default-java
This is not acceptable. Please don't mess around with the standard installation
in such a way. For now i'll add unconditional conflicts to these installer
packages in default-jre-headless so that people know what they get when using
these packages.
Thanks, Matthias
