But shouldn't a bug in u-a be easy to reproduce ? I tried something minimal: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# for i in 1 4 2 3 ; do touch /tmp/${i}; update-alternatives --install /tmp/alt-test alt-test /tmp/${i} 10; done [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# update-alternatives display alt-test update-alternatives: unknown argument `display' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# update-alternatives --display alt-test alt-test - status is auto. link currently points to /tmp/1 /tmp/1 - priority 10 /tmp/4 - priority 10 /tmp/2 - priority 10 /tmp/3 - priority 10 Current `best' version is /tmp/1. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# update-alternatives --list alt-test /tmp/1 /tmp/4 /tmp/2 /tmp/3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# for i in 1 2 3 4 ; do update-alternatives --remove alt-test /tmp/${i} ; done [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# update-alternatives --display alt-test No alternatives for alt-test. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# update-alternatives --list alt-test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# where update-alternatives behaves like expected. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
