The man page for update-alternatives does not give a range for the possible values for priority. As a result, when I created a package for the lindowsos warehosue for ibmjava2-jre, I used a priority of 99, assuming that 100 was the maximum. The problem arose when a user installed another jre, specifically the jdk1.1 package, which called update-alternatives with a priority of 111. I'm fixing our package for ibmjava2-jre, but the man page should be clarified. Are there any accepted values to use with update-alternatives? Is it listed in some other documentation somewhere that I just didn't see? thanks michael -- michael cardenas | lead software engineer, lindows.com hyperpoem.net | GNU/Linux software developer people.debian.org/~mbc | encrypted email preferred "Every exit is an entry somewhere else." - Tom Stoppard
