Are there significant cases where it's important that ae be registered as configured when update-alternatives failed? [Considering that the only difference between ae being unconfigured and ae being configured is that update-alternatives is run?] Perhaps there are packages which depend on ae which should only recommend ae? If there is such a case, then maybe it would be a good idea to document it: update-alternatives ..... || cat <<END Note: update-alternatives failed, but there are some important cases where it's important to register ae as installed when update-alternatives may fail: * ... * ... END Also note that you can get by without update-alternatives by providing a symlink from that name to /bin/true -- Raul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
