Hi, I've now cleaned up most of the incorrect alternatives handling in wheezy and squeeze->wheezy updates, and most of these fixes have already migrated to wheezy or are unblocked. Thanks for this!
There are a few packages left that cannot be fixed via unstable, a fix would have to go via TPU - should I try this? tucnak2 #668442 (fixed in unstable, but unstable has a new upstream release, that does FTBFS on everything but the maintainers machine) 0m28.6s ERROR: WARN: Broken symlinks: /usr/bin/tucnak2 -> /etc/alternatives/tucnak /etc/alternatives/tucnak -> /usr/bin/tucnak (does not remove the alternative on package removal) fonts-vlgothic #699905 (not fixed in unstable, patch available unstable has new upstream release) 0m54.7s INFO: Warning: Package purging left files on system: /etc/alternatives/ttf-japanese-gothic.ttf -> /usr/share/fonts/truetype/vlgothic/VL-Gothic-Regular.ttf not owned /usr/share/fonts/ owned by: fonts-vlgothic /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ owned by: fonts-vlgothic /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-japanese-gothic.ttf -> /etc/alternatives/ttf-japanese-gothic.ttf not owned (does not clean up obsolete alternatives on upgrades from squeeze) and of course openjdk-6-jre #685185 1m37.1s INFO: Warning: Package purging left files on system: /etc/alternatives/javaws -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws not owned /etc/alternatives/javaws.1.gz -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/man/man1/javaws.1.gz not owned /etc/alternatives/pluginappletviewer -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/pluginappletviewer not owned /usr/bin/javaws -> /etc/alternatives/javaws not owned /usr/bin/pluginappletviewer -> /etc/alternatives/pluginappletviewer not owned /usr/share/man/man1/javaws.1.gz -> /etc/alternatives/javaws.1.gz not owned (does not clean up obsolete alternatives on upgrades from squeeze) A patch is attached to the bug, I verified that this works properly, but there is no way that I'd NMU/TPU this package :-) That needs to be done by the maintainers. More than 300 packages seem to be affected by this on squeeze->wheezy updates, making it hard to spot packages that hav ebad alternatives handling on their own. But I'm afraid that still does not qualify to raise the severity to RC - or is leaving broken symlinks in /usr/bin RC?
