There's some sort of binary state files in /var/lib/alternatives; I once had a problem on one of our servers where the /usr/bin/java alternative was screwed up, and eventually traced it down to what appeared to be corruption of that file. I fixed it by blowing it away and reinstalling the package, attributing it to a heisenbug, but maybe there is some sort of race or periodic flaw in the alternatives system. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
