This bug report does not explain anything, specifically: * What IS the PATH_MAX problem? * Why isn't PATH_MAX defined, its mentioned in the man pages? * Where is the other source of these programs that now need alternatives?
I'd agree that the way of dynamically allocating space for readlink is a better idea, but that hardly makes it an important bug. I'm not shifting essential stuff that procps has around with an alternatives system until I understand why it needs to happen. At the very least I'll be checking to see if the alternative files exist (eg w.procps) before I run update-alternatives - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 http://www.enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux, software should be Free -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
