Bug#406540: automake1.9: Purging this package with automake (1.10) installed leaves broken alternatives

The crucial thing is that having selected automake1.9 with alternatives, when I purge it I get: Removing automake1.9 ... Removing manually selected alternative - switching to auto mode the second line indicating that everything's been switched to point to the automatic choice, which is in this case 1.10. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org/ | author, n. one who parades ignorance in public -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Exactly like the other reports, /etc/alternatives/aclocal still pointed to aclocal1.9. I had to run sudo update-alternatives --auto automake to mend the links (it won't let you --config when there's only one choice). I was playing with the automake packages again and I can't seem to reproduce this anymore whereas I could before. Does it still occur for you? -- Eric Dorland [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature
