[arch-general] java: cannot execute - too many levels of symbolic links

[Nathan R. DeGruchy]

I had to run "archlinux-java fix" but it seemed to fix my issue.

Hi List,

after updating yesterday java does not work anymore for me:

,----
| [tj at arch ~]$ LC_ALL=C java --help
| /usr/bin/java: line 2: /usr/lib/jvm/default/bin/java: Too many levels of
| symbolic links
| /usr/bin/java: line 2: exec: /usr/lib/jvm/default/bin/java: cannot
| execute: Too many levels of symbolic links
`----

with '/usr/bin/java -> /usr/lib/java-common-wrapper' containing:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
 #!/bin/bash
 exec "${JAVA_HOME:-/usr/lib/jvm/default}/bin/${0##*/}" "$@"
#+END_SRC

I remember some Java lib was updated recently - anyone else with this
problem?
