Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.25 Severity: minor At the top of the update-alternatives manpage, options for --install are listed as:
update-alternatives [options] --install link name path priority Down below, under Actions, it is listed as: --install gen link alt pri which is a bit confusing, since 'link' is used in a completely different way and in a different position. The top version is consistent with the output from update-alternatives when run with no command-line options, and the explanation there: <name> is the name in /etc/alternatives. <path> is the name referred to. <link> is the link pointing to /etc/alternatives/<name>. <priority> is an integer; options with higher numbers are chosen. is clearer than the explanation in the manpage under Actions. I recommend rewriting Actions to match the other two. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (9990, 'unstable'), (850, 'unstable'), (400, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-rc5 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii dselect 1.10.23 a user tool to manage Debian packa ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information
