Package: xterm
Version: 4.2.1-2
Severity: normal
Everytime X is upgraded, I have to go through the following...
isn't there some way to only remove the alternative if it would
no longer work ?
...
Setting up xterm (4.2.1-2) ...
Removing manually selected alternative - switching to auto mode
...
# update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
There are 8 alternatives which provide `x-terminal-emulator'.
