Hi, update-alternatives fails because the binary in the unstable archive doesn't ship /usr/bin/*.maildrop:
dpkg -$ dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/maildrop_2.2.0-2_i386.deb | grep usr\/bin drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2009-11-08 12:15 ./usr/bin/ -rwxr-xr-x root/root 162728 2009-11-08 12:15 ./usr/bin/maildrop -rwxr-xr-x root/root 24196 2009-11-08 12:15 ./usr/bin/maildirmake -rwxr-xr-x root/root 47004 2009-11-08 12:15 ./usr/bin/reformail -rwxr-xr-x root/root 10752 2009-11-08 12:15 ./usr/bin/lockmail -rwxr-xr-x root/root 20448 2009-11-08 12:15 ./usr/bin/deliverquota -rwxr-xr-x root/root 61428 2009-11-08 12:15 ./usr/bin/reformime -rwxr-xr-x root/root 24344 2009-11-08 12:15 ./usr/bin/makemime -rwxr-xr-x root/root 6240 2009-11-08 12:15 ./usr/bin/makedatprog -rwxr-xr-x root/root 24180 2009-11-08 12:15 ./usr/bin/mailbot -rwxr-xr-x root/root 2225 2009-11-08 12:15 ./usr/bin/makedat But, strangely enough, the same version when built manually does ship /usr/bin/*.maildrop and hence works fine. $ dpkg -c /tmp/maildrop_2.2.0-2_i386.deb | grep usr\/bin drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2009-11-08 20:19 ./usr/bin/ -rwxr-xr-x root/root 24196 2009-11-08 20:19 ./usr/bin/maildirmake.maildrop -rwxr-xr-x root/root 24344 2009-11-08 20:19 ./usr/bin/makemime -rwxr-xr-x root/root 6240 2009-11-08 20:19 ./usr/bin/makedatprog -rwxr-xr-x root/root 47004 2009-11-08 20:19 ./usr/bin/reformail -rwxr-xr-x root/root 2225 2009-11-08 20:19 ./usr/bin/makedat.maildrop -rwxr-sr-x root/mail 166344 2009-11-08 20:19 ./usr/bin/maildrop -rwxr-sr-x root/mail 10752 2009-11-08 20:19 ./usr/bin/lockmail.maildrop -rwxr-xr-x root/root 61428 2009-11-08 20:19 ./usr/bin/reformime -rwxr-xr-x root/root 24180 2009-11-08 20:19 ./usr/bin/mailbot Cheers, Serafeim -- debtags-organised WNPP bugs: http://members.hellug.gr/serzan/wnpp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
