  • Bug#265782: lynx-cur: update-alternatives: both lynx-cur and lynx.cur?

    From Dan Jacobson@1:229/2 to All on Sun Aug 15 01:00:10 2004

    Package: lynx-cur
    Version: 2.8.6-3
    Severity: minor

    I'm not sure both lynx-cur and lynx.cur should show up here:

    # update-alternatives --all
    There are 4 alternatives which provide `www-browser'.

    Selection Alternative
    -----------------------------------------------
    *+ 1 /usr/bin/lynx-cur
    2 /usr/bin/elinks
    3 /usr/bin/w3m
    4 /usr/bin/lynx.cur

    There are 4 alternatives which provide `www-browser'.

    -----------------------------------------------

    2 /usr/bin/elinks
    3 /usr/bin/w3m
    4 /usr/bin/lynx.cur

    Well it's intentional. The lynx.cur command comes from
    lynx-cur package and the lynx-cur command comes from
    lynx-cur-wrapper package so the current state of alternatives
    seems natural to me.

    Note also that the command lynx is defined through alternatives
    so it could be a bit ambiguous to use lynx for alternatives
    of www-browser.
