From the preinst script: ,---- | # clean error from previous package. | rm -f /usr/share/man/man1/bison.1 | update-alternatives --auto yacc `---- You are trying to fix #383971, but this is _not_ the way to do it! If the user had set the `yacc' alternative to manual, the preinst script breaks that. A better way to do this would be to test first if the system is actually affected by #383971, which should only be the case if /usr/bin/yacc is not a symlink: [ -L /usr/bin/yacc ] || update-alternatives --auto yacc should fix the broken systems and leave the others alone. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17.10 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages bison depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii m4 1.4.4-1 a macro processing language bison recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
