--- Begin Message ---Package: dpkg Version: 1.14.1 Severity: normal Hello, I've just updated gs-common which did swtch the handling of ps2pdf to update-alternatives. gs-comomn.postinst does include the following lines, called under the configure target: update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ps2pdf \ ps2pdf /usr/bin/ps2pdf14 50 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ps2pdf \ ps2pdf /usr/bin/ps2pdf12 30 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ps2pdf \ ps2pdf /usr/bin/ps2pdf13 40 Everything looks fine and update-alternatives seems happy. 9:53 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display ps2pdf ps2pdf - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/bin/ps2pdf14 /usr/bin/ps2pdf14 - priority 50 /usr/bin/ps2pdf12 - priority 30 /usr/bin/ps2pdf13 - priority 40 Current `best' version is /usr/bin/ps2pdf14. However, as it appears that update-alternatives did not create the symlink /usr/bin/ps2pdf -> /etc/alternatives/ps2pdf during the process, ps2pdf simply does not work. Is it a problem in the recent update-alternatives, or did the gs-common maintainer make a mistake ? I supposed the former as dpkg was upgraded at the same time as gs-common, and I've seen package with a more crude use of update-alternative work properly. This report is somehow similar to #100135, but in this case, it renders parts of gs-common unusable, so I preferred submitting a new report. I hope this helps, and that I don't bother you for another's mistake.
