You may want to verify what version your link came from.  May I suggest
you purge your package, delete the link (since not being known in the
package's alternatives, it will mean the link will not be removed -- how
it got there in the first place for you and didn't subsequently get
removed on an upgrade, I don't know), and reinstall Version: 6-05-1 from
sid?

I don't fully understand how alternatives work (in where the
metainformation etc comes from), but I don't see any
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/*sun*

Maybe you have a package that I don't which indicates there is a
dependency problem, as well as a general screwup in that I'm sure one
package shouldn't be owning another package's alternatives.

And likewise, reopening again.
