Bug#968560: unison-2.48: Bad alternative link for unison
Package: unison-2.48
Version: 2.48.4-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
Using unison though network with ssh, since last update I could not have it
work.
Connection was lost right after I give my password.
Launching unison from a shell, I could see that it was looking for a file,
unison, that could not be found.
I found out that it came from the fact that a link /usr/etc/alternatives/unison
(where /usr/bin/unison points to) was pointing on an invalid file,
/usr/bin/unison-latest-stable-gtk, that does not exist.
In my case I had to change that link to point on /usr/bin/unison-gtk
