Package: irssi Version: 0.8.10-1 Severity: minor
The postinst and prerm scripts include calls to update-alternatives suggesting that /usr/bin/irssi should be provided by the alternatives system, and that the real executable is /usr/bin/irssi-text. This is not the case, so the symlink in the alternatives directory is redundant and points to nowhere. If I run "update-alternatives --auto irssi", (eg. because I can't bear to have any dangling symlinks on my system) then the /usr/bin/irssi file is deleted, and obviously no symlink is provided to a working executable. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13.1 Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages irssi depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libperl5.8 5.8.7-10 Shared Perl library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8a-5 SSL shared libraries ii perl 5.8.7-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [perlapi-5.8.7] 5.8.7-10 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis irssi recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
