Hi Just some additional info, after comparing other packages' maintainer scripts and seeing that all the ones I checked invoke update-alternatives without an absolute path name, I took a look at the policy and found this (ยง6.1):
> Programs called from maintainer scripts should not normally have a path > prepended to them. Before installation is started, the package management > system checks to see if the programs ldconfig, start-stop-daemon, and update- > rc.d can be found via the PATH environment variable. Those programs, and any > other program that one would expect to be in the PATH, should thus be > invoked without an absolute pathname Maybe the best way would simply be to call update-alternatives without a prepended absolute path. regards Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
