Package: joe
Version: 3.5-2
Severity: normal
Bug 269334 seems to be back.
On my etch systems, with 3.5.1-1, using update-alternatives to set the
editor to jpico works correctly.
On my lenny systems, with 3.5-2, it does not; /etc/alternatives/editorrc
continues to point to /etc/joe/joerc, so the editor runs with the joe
persona instead of as jpico. Manually correcting the link solves the
problem.

It points there because you didn't tell it otherwise. For example, run:
% update-alternatives --display editorrc
editorrc - auto mode
link currently points to /etc/joe/joerc
/etc/joe/joerc - priority 70
/etc/joe/jmacsrc - priority 50
/etc/joe/jstarrc - priority 50
/etc/joe/jpicorc - priority 50
/etc/joe/rjoerc - priority 25
Current 'best' version is '/etc/joe/joerc'.
That's the default output. Pick jpicorc manually, using the provided
facility, like this:
% update-alternatives --config editorrc
There are 5 choices for the alternative editorrc (providing /etc/joe/editorrc).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /etc/joe/joerc 70 auto mode
1 /etc/joe/joerc 70 manual mode
2 /etc/joe/jmacsrc 50 manual mode
3 /etc/joe/jstarrc 50 manual mode
4 /etc/joe/jpicorc 50 manual mode
5 /etc/joe/rjoerc 25 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:

Please feel free to reopen the bug report if I didn't understand what you
