Bug#308531: unison2.9.1 doesn't behave nicely with other Ubuntu's unison
Package: unison2.9.1 Version: 2.9.1-1 Severity: important I have unison2.9.1 on one machine (say A), and I run Ubuntu Hoary on the other machine (say B). I use unison to synchronize my configuration files across these two hosts. When I run unison2.9.1 from machine A, everything works fine. However, when I run unison from machine B, it fails saying that it couldn't find a program named unison on machine A. Obviously this is because unison2.9.1 does not contain any binary named unison. I wonder if its better to use alternatives to let the user pick whichever version of unison they want to use. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages unison2.9.1 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I am really perplex regarding this bug : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo update-alternatives --list unison /usr/bin/unison2.9.1 /usr/bin/unison2.10.2 I use alternatives for unison ( ie unison2.10.2 and unison2.9.1 ). Could you please provide me with more information regarding this bug ? For example, run the command update-alternatives --list unison, just to see if the symlinks is installed. I would also like to have a ls -al /usr/bin/unison. As far as i have try, i use alternatives and a symlink /usr/bin/unison exists ( pointing to either unison2.9.1 or unison2.10.2 ). Regard Sylvain Le Gall ps: FYI unison and unison2.9.1 packages doesn't contains /usr/bin/unison which is managed through alternatives. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

So then I run galternatives and notice that the alternatives management for Unison has been set to 'manual'. I change it back to auto, and after that: $ ls -al /usr/bin/unison lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2005-05-10 14:46 /usr/bin/unison - /etc/alternatives/unison* So all good now :) I'm not sure where the problem came from. But I'm guessing its something specific to my machine, and not necessarily a bug with Unison. Thanks for the prompt response, you can close the bug. -- Diwaker Gupta Graduate Student, Computer Sc. and Engg.
