Package: big-cursor Version: 3.9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Installing big-cursor package did not change the default cursor on two systems I maintain (sid, Ubuntu LTS) where X is started with startx. Big-cursor was not offered as a choice when I ran: update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme I resolved the issues by editing /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme. If this approach is suitable, perhaps it could be documented in README.Debian: For some systems it may be necessary to edit /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme as follows: [Icon Theme] Inherits=big-cursor Thank you. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages big-cursor depends on: ii xfonts-base 1:1.0.3 ii xfonts-utils 1:7.7+2 big-cursor recommends no packages. big-cursor suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

tags 768635 wontfix thanks According to the previous reason, I would put it a won't fix as modifying /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme breaks the purpose of debian alternatives system, which is using symlinks to provide alternatives of some files.
