[ANNOUNCEMENT] NEW: alternatives-1.3.20a-1

This package provides mechanisms for maintaining a database of, and managing, other packages which might be in conflict with each other. The end user can easily switch between the desired versions. This implementation was adapted from the version included in Red Hat/Fedora's 'chkconfig' package.
