Hi, I installed Oracle JDK on my Fedora 23 KDE box. I setup alternatives as follow [1]. alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/default/jre/bin/javaws 200000 This doesn't always work and result in the error in the subject like. It can be fixed by following [2]. rm /var/lib/alternatives/javaws alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/default/jre/bin/javaws 200000 I am curious why does it happen. Why does the link fail?
