I don't know why I, as bug submitter, should be expected to figure out how you should handle alternatives. My packages don't do much with them. Overwriting a manually selected alternative is IMHO a serious bug. If you can't figure out whether the alternative was manually or automaticly selected, don't overwrite it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
