Noah Medling [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I don't think the first is really a bug; aptitude automatically fetches recommended packages, which dwm happens to be. Try the following command instead: sudo aptitude --without-recommends install wmii Thanks a lot for the hint! I didn't think about it. But in my opinion a problem still exists, because some wmii users will have incorrect x-window-manager symlink, if --with-recommends is a default option for aptitude in Ubuntu. Do we always know what package (dwm or wmii) will be installed as first package? If not, then debconf should display warning about the bad x-window-manager symlink and how to fix it. If so and the second package is wmii, then postinstall script should fix the improper symlink automagically. -- [Gutsy] wmii installs dwm and bad symlink /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
