Bug#4716: fvwm95 2.0.42a-4 wipes out /etc/X11/window-managers
Package: fvwm95
Version: 2.0.42a-4
Installing fvwm95 it tryes to put itself as the default window manager,
but at the end the file /etc/X11/window-managers is empty.
here is the output:
1# dpkg -i /opt/debian/fvwm95_2.0.42a-4.deb
Selecting previously deselected package fvwm95.
(Reading database ... 15079 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking fvwm95 (from .../debian/fvwm95_2.0.42a-4.deb) ...
Setting up fvwm95 (2.0.42a-4) ...
Fvwm95 made the default window manager.
1# ls -la window-managers*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 7 17:35 window-managers
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 234 Oct 7 17:24 window-managers.bak
I suggest also that the package asks if the user wants it to become the
default package, adding it at the end of the file if the user says NO.
Anyway it should tell the user to edit the file /etc/X11/window-managers
to change this.
ciao
fabrizio
