Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.3.2-1sarge3
Severity: normal

Konqueror does not install its manpage in the alternative system. I'd
say it is a bug (a policy violation?) to install x-www-browser with no
manpage.  The solution is to use a slave link, like amaya does it.

With konqueror 3.3.2-1 and amaya 8.5-1 installed on my system, cruft
0.9.6-0.4 correctly reports:

---- missing: alternatives ----
        /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser.1.gz
        /usr/share/man/man1/x-www-browser.1.gz

What caused that?  Look at /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-www-browser
and find:
----------------------------------------
auto
/usr/bin/x-www-browser
x-www-browser.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/x-www-browser.1.gz

/usr/bin/konqueror
100

/usr/bin/amaya
20
/usr/share/man/man1/amaya.1.gz
----------------------------------------

konqueror 3.3.2-1 postinst installs /usr/bin/konqueror as an alternative
/usr/bin/x-www-browser without installing konqueror's man page as a "slave"
alternative; compare

<cut from konqueror.postinst>
	update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /usr/bin/konqueror 100
</cut from konqueror.postinst>

and

<cut from amaya.postinst>
if [ "$1" = "configure" -o "$1" = "abort-upgrade" ] ; then
    update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser \
        x-www-browser /usr/bin/amaya 20 \
        --slave /usr/share/man/man1/x-www-browser.1.gz \
        x-www-browser.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/amaya.1.gz
fi
</cut from amaya.postinst>

I'm not sure it qualifies as "serious" for etch but it's not nice.
There are probably other KDE packages with this problem, eg
package kwin (/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-window-manager)

Man, do you know how might I do for telnetting from the FPU?

You should never boot a login.
