Package: piuparts
Version: 0.43
Severity: normal

There should be some more tests on alternatives during upgrade tests:

* install the oldest version
* mark all alternatives as manual and remember them
* distupgrade
* check the remembered alternatives
  - removed: OK
  - manual: OK
  - automatic: ERROR, user config lost, probably update-alternatives
    --remove called in 'prerm/postrm upgrade'
* remove

The following is not an error, but a removal:

alternative foobar /bin/foobar
  - alternative /bin/foo prio 10
  - alternative /bin/bar prio 20
-> select /bin/bar and set manual

after upgrade the /bin/bar alternative provider was removed and /bin/foo
is now being used and the alternative is back to automatic - that is OK.

Hi,

I'm closing these two bugs because of the reasons explained in 
http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ - in short: they clutter the view and 
nobody seems to be interested on working on these wishlist features.

But, I have also added references to these closed bugs in piuparts.git/TODO so 
should someone in future wants to work on these features, there might be 
pointers to previous discussions.


cheers,
        Holger
