Discussion in #433567 is confusing. The bug report says: > Installing emacs and removing emacs-snapshot caused this alternative > to become auto mode, This is normal behavior: If you remove your preferred alternative, update-alternatives *has* to set the mode to auto, or you will be left with a dangling symlink... However, I'm still in manual mode, and I have dangling symlinks! IMHO, this bug is more than a wishlist, in particular because "update-alternatives --config emacs" doesn't do anything (it says "Nothing to configure.", but this is plainly wrong). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
