Dear Debian Mentors, Maintaining a package (mrpt) I stumbled upon a conflict between two of its dependencies: - wxwidgets, which provides several "configurations", via an update-alternative symlink named `wx-config`, and - opencv (version 3).
The problem is that OpenCV uses gtk3, while the *default* wx-config is gtk2, so the resulting executables raise an assert about the incompatibility between gtk2 and gtk3 and are useless. However, Debian packages *already* contain the `gtk3-unicode-3.0` version of wx-config, which should be selected via `update-alternatives` when *manually* building the packages from sources, fixing the problem. And my question is: is it "acceptable" to run `update-alternatives` during debian/rules? Is there any better way to handle with this (apart of proposing a change all the way down to the FindWxWidgets.cmake module by CMake? Any advice will be more than welcome.
