[Bug 471127] [NEW] ImageJ fails to run - /usr/share/imagej/jni/*: No such file or directory

[Thomas Ibbotson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: imagej

When trying to run imagej on a fresh install of Karmic the following
error message is produced:

Open other images in this ImageJ panel as follows:
  imagej -p 1 <image1> [<image2> ... <imageN>]

cat: /usr/share/imagej/jni/*: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/imagej: line 418: //bin/java: No such file or directory

which shows 2 problems. The first is the problem I am reporting here.
The 2nd can be worked around by setting the JAVA_HOME environment
variable appropriately.

imagej:
  Installed: 1.43b-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.43b-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1.43b-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://mirror.ox.ac.uk karmic/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install imagej: "sudo apt-get install imagej"
2. Run imagej from a command-line: "imagej"

Also if I set the JAVA_HOME variable correctly, I get the following
error message:

Open other images in this ImageJ panel as follows:
  imagej -p 1 <image1> [<image2> ... <imageN>]

cat: /usr/share/imagej/jni/*: No such file or directory
