Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unison
I am using Ubuntu 8.10. I tried to install only the unison command-line
program (package version 2.27.57-1ubuntu1) and then check the manpage to
learn how to use it:
$ sudo aptitude install unison
...
$ man unison
man: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/unison.1.gz is a dangling symlink
No manual entry for unison
$ unison
bash: /usr/bin/unison: No such file or directory
It turns out the manpage and binary are linked through
/etc/alternatives, which contains links to "/usr/bin/unison-latest-
stable-gtk" and so on. These are presumably provided by unison-gtk, but
there is no dependency on unison-gtk, or vice versa.
$ apt-cache depends unison unison-gtk

This may be related to

sure, so I am filing a new bug.
