Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I've just updated gs-common which did swtch the handling of ps2pdf
to update-alternatives.
gs-comomn.postinst does include the following lines, called under
the configure target:
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ps2pdf \
ps2pdf /usr/bin/ps2pdf14 50
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ps2pdf \
ps2pdf /usr/bin/ps2pdf12 30
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ps2pdf \
ps2pdf /usr/bin/ps2pdf13 40
Everything looks fine and update-alternatives seems happy.
9:53 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display ps2pdf
ps2pdf - status is auto.
link currently points to /usr/bin/ps2pdf14
/usr/bin/ps2pdf14 - priority 50
/usr/bin/ps2pdf12 - priority 30
/usr/bin/ps2pdf13 - priority 40
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/ps2pdf14.
However, as it appears that update-alternatives did not create the
symlink /usr/bin/ps2pdf -> /etc/alternatives/ps2pdf during the process,
ps2pdf simply does not work. Is it a problem in the recent
update-alternatives, or did the gs-common maintainer make a mistake ?
I supposed the former as dpkg was upgraded at the same time as gs-common,
and I've seen package with a more crude use of update-alternative work
properly.
This report is somehow similar to #100135, but in this case, it
renders parts of gs-common unusable, so I preferred submitting a new
report.
I hope this helps, and that I don't bother you for another's mistake.
Cheers,
Vincent Fourmond
