Bug#706747: olvwm: fails to install [i386]: update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/X11/olvwm-x-window-manager doesn't exist.

2013-05-04 Thread Andreas Beckmann 
Package: olvwm
Version: 4.4.3.2p1.4-28.1
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Setting up olvwm (4.4.3.2p1.4-25) ...
  update-alternatives: error: alternative path 
/usr/bin/X11/olvwm-x-window-manager doesn't exist.
  dpkg: error processing olvwm (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
  configured to not write apport reports
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   olvwm


cheers,

Andreas

Control: notfound -1 4.4.3.2p1.4-28.1
Control: found -1 4.4.3.2p1.4-25
Control: fixed -1 3.2p1.4-26

olvwm/squeeze does not exist on amd64 ... so this was not discovered
earlier.

I'll try to get this fixed via (o)pu.


Andreas
