Package: rxvt-unicode Version: 9.06-2 Severity: serious Hi,
today I upgraded rxvt-unicode (which was set as the terminal to provide x-terminal-emulator). After that upgrade I noticed that my alternative has been switched to a gnome-terminal. I then noticed the following in the log of my upgrade: update-alternatives: Entferne manuell ausgewählte Alternative - wechsle x-terminal-emulator zu Auto-Modus update-alternatives: Verwende /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper, um /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator (x-terminal-emulator) in Auto-Modus bereitzustellen. (Basically this is the german translation of "removing manually selected alternative - switching x-t-e to auto mode" and "using /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper to provide /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator (x-terminal-emulator) in auto mode") Severity is kind of a stretch. Basically I'm not sure if /etc/alternatives are to be considered configuration files, but as they reflect local configuration choices I consider it to be a policy violation to mess with them, because Debian policy 10.7.3 should apply to those links to follow the policies spirit. I am, however, not sure weither the bug is in rxvt-unicode or not, so please feel free to reassign it if needed.
