/etc/alternatives not working properly
Due to changing partitions around I managed to mess up my Debian Sid
AMD64 install. I reinstalled from scratch and then restored my /etc
directory from a backup. Now none of the commands in /etc/alternative
work (java, wx-config x-www-browser etc). All of the symlinks are
present and I have tried update-alternatives --all with no luck.
If I add /etc/alternatives to my PATH then they work again, but I don't
remember having to do this before.
Should /etc/alternatives be in my PATH, if so should I add it to
/etc/profile. If not, anyone got any ideas how to restore the
alternatives system to its former state?
TIA
