Package: swfdec-mozilla Version: 0.8.2-1 I noticed on the swfdec wiki that the installation for swfdec-mozilla suggested updating the /etc/alternatives symlink to the new location:
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/swfdec/libswfdecmozilla.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so This didn't seem very "Debian", because I'm used to using 'update-alternatives --config' for such things (in cases where the automatic decisions don't match my preferences. Could the package please be changed so that the alternatives configuration works as expected? current output (after installing package): # update-alternatives --config mozilla-flashplugin There is only 1 program which provides mozilla-flashplugin (/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so). Nothing to configure. preferred output: # update-alternatives --config mozilla-flashplugin There are 2 alternatives which provide `mozilla-flashplugin'. Selection Alternative ----------------------------------------------- *+ 1 /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so 2 /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so One way to do this post-install is the following: # update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so mozilla-flashplugin /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so 50 but it would be nice to have that done automatically when installing the package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
