Package: gnuplot-x11
Version: 5.0.3+dfsg3-4
Severity: normal
I'm seeing the following update-alternatives warnings when installing or
reinstalling gnuplot-x11:
,----
| Setting up gnuplot-x11 (5.0.3+dfsg3-4) ...
| update-alternatives: updating alternative /usr/bin/gnuplot-x11 because link
group gnuplot has changed slave links
| update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative
/usr/bin/gnuplot-x11 because link group gnuplot is broken
`----
The reason is that the postinst registers the alternative twice, first
with the gnuplot.gih slave symlink and then without it. I suspect the
first call is the one you want and the second one is incorrect, here is
an untested patch to remove it:
