Or you could make the postinstall script a bash script, and make bash a prerequisite of unison (no big deal, as bash is already in Base).

At this point I recommend that you remove and reinstall all of the unison alternatives on your host, as follows: rm /var/lib/alternatives/unison for f in /etc/postinstall/unison* ; do $f ; done and see if that clears up the problem. After removing all fo the unison packages, all of the alternatives and then reinstalling, everything appears to be happy again.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: unison2.13, unison2.17, unison2.27
The man page for alternatives (8) does not seem to specify the allowed range for priority values, but using 2017 for unison 2.17 and 2027 for unison 2.27 seem to upset it: ajm /usr/sbin/alternatives.exe --display unison path to alternate expected in /var/lib/alternatives/unison ajm Editing /var/lib/alternatives/unison as follows seems to fix things: ajm cat /var/lib/alternatives/unison auto /usr/bin/unison /usr/bin/unison-2.17 17 /usr/bin/unison-2.27 27 ajm /usr/sbin/alternatives.exe --display unison unison - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/bin/unison-2.27 /usr/bin/unison-2.17 - priority 17 /usr/bin/unison-2.27 - priority 27 Current `best' version is /usr/bin/unison-2.27. ajm ~ I can't reproduce this problem on my host: $ alternatives --display unison unison - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/bin/unison-2.27 /usr/bin/unison-2.13 - priority 2013 /usr/bin/unison-2.17 - priority 2017 /usr/bin/unison-2.27 - priority 2027 Current `best' version is /usr/bin/unison-2.27. $ cat /var/lib/alternatives/unison auto /usr/bin/unison /usr/bin/unison-2.13 2013 /usr/bin/unison-2.17 2017 /usr/bin/unison-2.27 2027 I also found a mixture of names - the new versions install unison symlinks, but the older versions installed unison.exe symlinks.

Also is bash style shell arithmetic used for the priority allowed in a /bin/sh script ? I'm not sure, since bash is the default shell now. But since ash is still out there, I've removed the offending arithmetic (which I now take care of in my makefile instead). Thanks for pointing these out. I've just uploaded a new version that fixes both of these problems. It should be out shortly.
