Can you describe the reproduction steps further? It seems I too have
faced this problem.

Title:
  update-java-alternatives can fail if update-alternatives lists
  multiple JVMs

Status in java-common package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I used to have both the sun-java6 and openjdk packages installed.
  However, this caused problems for ant building particular packages.
  Further investigation showed that the reason was that update-java-
  alternatives was not able to switch the default JVM to use because a
  single change had been made to javac via update-alternatives.
