Package: dpkg
Version: 1.21.0
I have just upgraded a two months old sid chroot and noticed that
update-alternatives issued some strange warnings:
,----
| Setting up util-linux (2.37.2-4) ...
| update-alternatives: warning: /etc/alternatives/pager has been changed
(manually or by a script); switching to manual updates only
| update-alternatives: using /bin/more to provide /usr/bin/pager (pager) in
auto mode
| Setting up automake (1:1.16.5-1.1) ...
| update-alternatives: warning: /etc/alternatives/automake has been changed
(manually or by a script); switching to manual updates only
| Setting up bsdextrautils (2.37.2-4) ...
| update-alternatives: warning: /etc/alternatives/write has been changed
(manually or by a script); switching to manual updates only
| update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/write.ul to provide /usr/bin/write
(write) in auto mode
| Setting up g++ (4:11.2.0-2) ...
| update-alternatives: warning: /etc/alternatives/c++ has been changed
(manually or by a script); switching to manual updates only
| update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/g++ to provide /usr/bin/c++ (c++) in auto
mode

I had not played with any of these alternatives before, so they should
all have been in auto mode. Here is today's excerpt of
