We aren't really talking abotu pure debian environments here. But even if we did: No, alternatives are used to handle different programs for a given purpose, but usually not for different locations of interpreters AFAIK. Different locations of a specific program (which is more like the problem we were talking about) are a different thing. After all, alternatives always work like /usr/bin/someprog -> /etc/alternatives/someprog -> /usr/bin/someprog-X11 (with x -> y depicting a link named x pointing to y). cu, sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
