I'm not sure I'd agree that the optimal solution would be to ignore update-alternatives. update-alternatives is the correct way to have more than 1 package that provides the same functionality on Linux.
As René indicated installations worked fine with update-alternatives, and had been working fine. The only problem I had with the package build was its name, and that was due to CMake issues, where on 1 version of CMake the package built ok but with the wrong name and the newer version of CMake didn't even make the package. The problem is CMake (or how to use it properly), not with update-alternatives. Cheers, Mark On 7/4/20 1:14 am, P.O.
