wmaker: missing-alternative x-window-manager
Looking forward for the fix.
Thanks for your report!
As far as I can tell, Window Maker does properly register with
update-alternatives. For example, on my system:
profzoom@cayke:~$ update-alternatives --list x-window-manager
/usr/bin/icewm
/usr/bin/notion
/usr/bin/openbox
/usr/bin/wmaker
/usr/bin/wmii
I took a look at the code to adequate, and it appears that it double
checks whether the path registered with update-alternatives is shipped
in the corresponding binary package.
However, /usr/bin/wmaker is actually a script which creates some
directories and copies some files if needed before actually running the
actual window manager (/usr/lib/WindowMaker/wmaker). Since it's an
architecture-independent script, it is shipped in the wmaker-common
package, not the architecture-dependent wmaker package.
This appears to be the issue.
I'm not sure if this is a bug in Window Maker, a bug in adequate, or
something that can be safely ignored.
I'm adding adequate to the 'affects' for this bug for its maintainers'
input.
