Because it's the way it works: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-mc/trunk/debian/patches/debian/99_detect_alt_editor.patch > However, since dist-upgrades over two versions is not supported by > Debian, you could include a small code into "mc.postinst" which check > for old stuff laying around before it call "update-alternatives"... Uhmmm? I don't see what I can do in this regard. When mc is uninstalled, the alternatives it provides are removed (and the alternatives are reset to a best possible match). So I am not sure whether there is a way of checking that the alternative for editor was previously manually set to mcedit-debian and force it to become mcedit instead. If this is indeed possible a patch would be welcome. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V. Zaytsev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
