I'm not sure what I am supposed to be finding out. If someone can explain to
me I am happy to give it a go! By the way, I understand packaging and can
use dpkg and apt. But I am not familiar with how the alternatives system
works.
I would certainly not be happy to see it closed as WONTFIX -- won't this break
the upgrade process to squeeze for many people? And what is the workround?
My system is currently broken, how do I fix it?
