What am I doing wrong?
The easiest way to see how this stuff works is to look at a postinst
script that already does it. Pick an existing alternative and look at
/var/lib/dpkg/info/$PACKAGE.postinst.
Excellent idea.
I think you want this:
# update-alternatives --install x-www-browser /usr/bin/x-www-browser \
/usr/local/firefox/firefox 3
That sets up /usr/local/firefox/firefox as an alternative for
/usr/sbin/x-www-browser .
Unfortunately, that's wrong. Peeking into iceape-browser.postinst,
though, gave me the answer.
