Package: kaffe Version: 2:1.1.7-4 Severity: normal Whenever kaffe gets upgraded it becomes the default java compiler, even if I have previously gone to update-alternatives --configure and set something else as the default.
The culprit is the line from kaffe.prerm update-alternatives --auto $file || true Please remove this line. No maintainer scripts should ever run this line as it (by definition) overrides the system administrator's preferences about the alternatives link. (I'm struck by the fact that this is the next level of pushiness and inconsiderateness over a bug I filed a few years ago against the kaffe package http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=281666. Please learn how the alternatives system is supposed to work, and how to respect the system administrator's preferences.) --Ken -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-1ken (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kaffe depends on: ii kaffe-pthreads 2:1.1.7-4 A POSIX threads enabled version of kaffe recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
