Package: dpkg Version: 1.16.2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
i would like changes made with update-alternatives to remain in effect after an apt-get upgrade. in particular, i typically use a window manager but not a display manager or a session manager. gnome is installed in case i'd like to use it, but the session manager never loaded after upgrades... until an upgrade within the previous month. afterward, i ran update-alternatives --remove-all x-session-manager to prevent gnome from running on startx. after a second upgrade, the x-session-manager symlink reappeared. in general, shouldn't configuration changes made with the appropriate utility (as opposed running to rm /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager in this case) remain in effect after future runs of dpkg? -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-1 ii libc6 2.13-32 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-2 ii tar 1.26-4 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20110809-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.6.dfsg-2 dpkg recommends no packages.
