Package: unison Version: 2.13.16-1 Severity: normal The NEWS.Debian file in this package has overloy long lines which make it annoying to read during upgrade since it comes out looking like this:
As of version 2.10.2, the package use an alternative to let the user choose bet ween unison and unison2.9.1 binaries for unison and unison-gtk. The binaries used in unison and unison-gtk package were versionned binaries (ie unison2.10.2 and unison2.10.2-gtk). This w as a mistake. When trying to upgrade to new upstream version, former alternatives were not re moved and you keep symlinks to non existent binaries (ie you stay with unison pointing to unison2.10.2). This behavior is corrected by using a stable name for unison bin aries (ie unison-latest-stable). If you have configured alternatives, you may encounter some problem, because du ring upgrade the symlink won't be updated, since it has been user configured. In thi s case, you should run "update-alternatives --auto unison && update-alternatives --auto uni son-gtk" to restore the good behavior. (By the way, I think that the bug described in the above news item could be fixed by a sufficiently smart postinst script.) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages unison depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an Versions of packages unison recommends: ii ssh 1:4.1p1-6 Secure shell client and server (tr -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
