Package: ftp Version: 20210827-3 Severity: normal Usertags: warnings When I upgraded the ftp binary package from 0.17-35 to 20210827-3, the tnftp invocation of update-alternatives gave a warning about the netkit-ftp alternative being missing.
First tnftp was unpacked, then the old ftp package files removed, the new ftp transitional package files unpacked, then the tnftp postinst was run and then the ftp transitional package postinst was run. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ap-flowcharts.html I think the correct solution is for the new ftp preinst to remove the netkit-ftp alternative before the old ftp files are removed. Another solution might be for the tnftp postinst to remove the netkit-ftp alternative before adding the tnftp alternative. I didn't test either of the potential solutions though.
