Package: unison2.9.1
Version: 2.9.1-1
Severity: important
I have unison2.9.1 on one machine (say A), and I run Ubuntu Hoary on the other
machine (say B). I use unison to synchronize my configuration files across these
two hosts. When I run unison2.9.1 from machine A, everything works fine.
However, when I run unison from machine B, it fails saying that it
couldn't find a program named unison on machine A.
Obviously this is because unison2.9.1 does not contain any binary named
unison. I wonder if its better to use alternatives to let the user pick
whichever version of unison they want to use.

That is strange indeed, maybe it comes from another setting ( setting
of update-alternatives ).
Maybe you could check if unison is the only problematic packages ?
Anyway, since you have solve the bug for your machine, i close the bug,
because, i really don't think it is a unison bugs.
If your investigation, shows that there is a problem with any other
packages, don't hesitate to contact dpkg maintainer ( as far as i
remember update-alternatives is part of dpkg ).
Kind regard
