Hi!
I was notified by Emmanuel Bourg that there are still packages making
use of the old compat paths for u-a, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride
in /usr/sbin. Those compat symlinks got removed in dpkg 1.17.0:
,---
* Remove update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride
compatibility symlinks under /usr/sbin/.
`---
I'm planning on starting to file bug reports for the source packages
below (BCCed). I've not checked (yet) how severe the dpkg-statoverride
ones are, but if most of them do not get fixed, I might consider
reintroducing the compat symlink for that one alone if the release-team
(CCed) sees fit to that. :/
I'm not entirely sure why most of those packages are using a construct
like this though:
,---
if [ ! -x /usr/sbin/dpkg-statoverride ] || \
! dpkg-statoverride --list $CONF > /dev/null
then
[…]
fi
`---
instead of just using the command directly? Maybe cargo-culted from
somewhere? I also thought there was a lintian warning on absolute path
usage, but either I cannot find it after a quick glance over the
website, the code, git log and BTS, or I misremembered.
