Package: debhelper
Severity: grave
Justification: Breaks packages
Hi Joey,
in 5.0.44, you added the slave link for the manpage to the
update-alternatives call. This has three problems:
* it breaks compatibility with debhelper 5 (it's not used in 'v6 only'
as you have written in changelog, but also when having compat set to
5).
* there is a typo, it should be:
[...]
--slave /usr/share/man/man1/x-window-manager.1.gz \
x-window-manager.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/#WM#.1.gz
in autoscripts/postinst-wm and not this:
[...]
--slave /usr/share/man/man1/x-window-manager.1.gz \
x-window-manager /usr/share/man/man1/#WM#.1.gz
* there is a problem with #WM# replaces handling:
- if WM is a full path to the wm, the first WM in postinst-wm is
correct, but the slave link is not
(e.g. /usr/share/man/man1/usr/bin/$foo.1.gz).
- if WM is only the binary name, the first WM is a wrong
alternative.
Regards,
Daniel
