Re: mass bug filing against packages that don't remove alternatives



* Andreas Beckmann <debian@abeckmann.de>, 2012-02-23, 21:49:
I'm planning to file bugs against all packages that currently leave alternatives on the system after they were removed. Forgetting to remove alternatives usually leaves dangling symlinks on the system and in most cases these are dangling symlinks in /usr/bin

The problem with alternatives is that nobody knows how to handle them correctly: see bug #71621 (no, I didn't forget the leading digit).
