--- Begin Message ---Package: gnuplot-qt Version: 5.0.5+dfsg1-6+deb9u1 Severity: normal Dear Gnuplot maintainer, Today, while searching for a nice packaging example of how to use the Debian alternatives system (in a package) I noticed that gnuplot-qt had three broken symlinks in /etc/alternatives. I believe this stretch system began as a squeeze installation, or was possibly installed early in wheezy's freeze. The first two broken symlinks appear to be lint resulting from a transition: /etc/alternatives/gnuplot5: broken symbolic link to /usr/bin/gnuplot5-qt /etc/alternatives/gnuplot5.1.gz: broken symbolic link to [presumably /usr/share/man/man1/gnuplot5-qt.1.gz] and this one is also broken: /usr/share/man/man1/gnuplot5.1.gz: broken symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/gnuplot5.1.gz however, "man gnuplot" works as expected because: /usr/share/man/man1/gnuplot.1.gz: symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/gnuplot.1.gz /etc/alternatives/gnuplot.1.gz: symbolic link to /usr/share/man/man1/gnuplot-qt.1.gz Maybe it's fixed in sid?

--- Begin Message ---fixed 907413 5.2.4+dfsg1-1 thanks Hello Nicholas, thank you for you bugreport. There was a painful transition gnuplot(4) -> gnuplot5 -> gnuplot(5) some time ago. And as far as I remember we fixed all problems with the old and broken symlinks. At least our automatic system, which is detecting such problems does not find any issues any more. It could of course happen, that your particular system was affected by some more difficulties. which we did not identified before. But anyway, we will not provide any more updates for the gnuplot, being in the stable version except some security fixes. Thus I am marking the bug "fixed". If some problems will be found in the current sid, we will try to fix them ASAP. Thanks, Anton Am Mo., 27.
