If what you want to do is override the priorities given by the package the supported method is to overwrite the symlinks in /etc/alternatives to point at the option you'd like to choose. update-alternatives will notice and won't touch the symlinks unless you tell it to go back into automatic mode. The proprities given are only defaults - you are free to override them. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
