Dear Maintainer,
The pvm package is currently installable in sid when openssh-client is
installed and there is no other package providing rsh-client:
# apt install pvm

Setting up pvm (3.4.6-3.2+b1) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/rsh doesn't exist
dpkg: error processing package pvm (--configure):
installed pvm package post-installation script subprocess returned error
exit status 2
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of pvm-dev:
pvm-dev depends on pvm; however:
Package pvm is not configured yet.
This is caused by a recent change in openssh-client:
openssh (1:9.1p1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
[...]
* Remove obsolete and misleading rcp/rlogin/rsh alternatives, and stop
providing rsh-client (closes: #197037).
A simple fix for this issue is changing the Depends field from:
openssh-client | rsh-client
to:
rsh-client
Best,
Rafael
