Followup-For: Bug #685185
Control: tag -1 patch
Hi,
I'm attaching a patch that removes the superfluous and brocken logic
that prevented the removal of the obsolete alternatives to actually
happen.
I did a lot of piuparts upgrade tests from squeeze to wheezy+fixed-jdk6
(with the patch applied to 1.11.5-1) and it solved the issue for all
the about 250-300 packages that are affected by this bug.
I also verified that the patch applied to 1.12.1 (as attached) works
properly.
Please get this fixed in wheezy as leaving broken symlinks in /usr/bin
is really not nice.
Andreas
