Say what? update-alternatives is called in the *postinst*, and it's the *postinst* that is mentioned in the bug report as not checking for errors. If update-alternatives is failing, ae will be left unconfigured, not uninstalled. Oh, and the preinst _does_ set -e (and thereby check for errors). > If that script fails then ae is not installed. Yes, but it's not the script in question. BTW ae's preinst is 100% redundant and should be removed. ae has no pre-depends, checking if dpkg supports pre-depends is an exercise in pointlessness. -- James ~Yawn And Walk North~ http://yawn.nocrew.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
