Comment 19 for bug 291135

So the correct fix is:

sudo apt-get reinstall sun-java6-plugin

I still don't get is how it can be "Fix released" if my system never got a patch/update for it. How are users supposed to know to update?

If the relevant update just hasn't got to end-users yet, I presume the status should be fix-committed?

[I'm new to all these statuses, so just trying to clarify things]
