I think we still need to switch the yacc alternative to auto because of the nature of the breakage in 2.3.dfsg-1. If the system contains a working, auto yacc alternative when you install 2.3.dfsg-1, the alternatives system will notice that the /usr/bin/yacc symlink is stomped on and switch the yacc alternative to manual. Manually creating the missing symlink fixes the problem for now, but unless someone switches the yacc alternative back to auto, the alternatives system will leave the yacc alternative alone and result in further breakage (for example, a dangling /usr/bin/yacc symlink after all yacc alternatives had been removed). -- Chuan-kai Lin http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~cklin/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
