Package: swig2.0 Version: 2.0.12-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Packages swig2.0 and swig3.0 provide alternative versions of swig. Installing any of these should provide an alternative in /etc/alternatives. For details see https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_the_update_alternatives_command Currently package swig creates a link from /usr/bin/swig to /usr/bin/swig2.0. Both swig2.0 and swig3.0 should be marked as "provides swig", and package swig should be marked as virtual package.
