Not that anyone gets this right in practice, but I think calling update-alternatives unconditionally in postinst is the correct way to handle the error rollback cases. You don't want to call it unconditionally in prerm because you don't want to call it on upgrade normally, but there isn't a similar case for postinst. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
