Package: xterm
Version: 208-2
Severity: normal
This version of the xterm packages uses the alternatives system in some
broken way. Before upgrading to this package, my x-terminal-emulator was
set to xterm. After the upgrade it got reset to the highest priority
alternative (gnome-terminal). I then manually --configed it back to
xterm. Then I downgraded the package to version 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11, and
once again the alternative got reset to gnome-terminal-emulator.

This was a problem with sarge->etch upgrades, and moving away from
/usr/X11R6, afaict. etch->lenny will be fine, so I'm closing this bug.
