It seems a lot of problem with update-alternative comes from package upgrading, specially if configuration has been changed to manual. Checking in %postun if current situation is removal or upgrade could solve this. What about turning all
%postun update-alternatives --remove foo into %postun if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then update-alternatives --remove foo fi And making it a standard mdk policy ? -- Guillaume Rousse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html
