It doesn't help that update-alternatives has historically been buggy and prone to randomly set links back to auto mode when you didn't want it to. Furthermore, it's very unclear exactly when packages are supposed to call update-alternatives in order to get upgrades right, and there's still no policy on this (see bug #71621). -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
