Details

Description: The 'icedtea-web' package replaces the 'icedtea-web-java7' package.
Since then the testing page 'http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml' doesn't work anymore:

Unable to find java executable /usr/lib/jvm/java-default-runtime/jre/bin/java

This is because of the link:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-default-runtime -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre

The java binary should be search in 'usr/lib/jvm/java-default-runtime/bin/java':

ll /usr/lib/jvm/java-default-runtime/jre/bin/java
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/jvm/java-default-runtime/jre/bin/java: No such file or directory

ll /usr/lib/jvm/java-default-runtime/bin/java
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5288 16 août 11:26 /usr/lib/jvm/java-default-runtime/bin/java

Additional info:
* package version(s) :
extra/icedtea-web 1.5.1-1
extra/java-common 1-5
extra/jre7-openjdk 7.u65_2.5.1-8
extra/jre7-openjdk-headless 7.u65_2.5.1-8

Steps to reproduce:
Update to 'icedtea-web' with the replacement of 'icedtea-web-java7'
Test java plugin in Firefox at 'http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml'
This doesn't work anymore.
