Bug#2828: have to install xosview twice to work
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.1.5elf
I noticed I made mistake with my xosview package: I put the executable
in /usr/bin/X11/xosview. Now I've made a new xosview release, with
the executable in /usr/X11R6/bin/xosview. If I now install the
new xosview-1.3.2-3.deb, there's nothing in /usr/X11R6/bin/xosview. However,
if I repeat the same dpkg -i command, xosview suddenly turns up!
(starting from no xosview-1.3.2-2:)

(BTW, xosview-1.3.2-3.i386.deb has been for a couple of on master's
incomming, untill I noticed it. For the interested, I've put a copy of it on
ftp://rulcmc.leidenuniv.nl/joost/xosview-1.3.2-3.i386.deb
along with the old version, so you can play around with them)
Or am I doing something VERY wrong?
Thanks,
