Followup-For: Bug #729212 Control: tag -1 patch Hi,
I'm attaching a patch to fix update-alternatives usage. * prerm: fix syntax * postinst: do not run update-alternatives --auto because that would destroy local customization In case a 'manual' alternative disappears, u-a will automatically switch back to 'auto'. I intent to NMU flexpart to not ship jessie with this bug. Andreas
