Package: xterm Version: 208-3.1 Severity: normal (Hmm, I see I already filed a bug on this once, so I'll just follow up with this second, more detailed bug report since I typed it up..) My system was configured via update-alternatives --edit so that xterm was the alternative used for x-terminal-emulator. After upgrading from version 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 to this new version, it got reset to gnome-terminal. gnome-terminal was not itself upgraded as part of this upgrade. This is the second time that I have experienced this problem; both times were upgrades from version 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11, which I will now downgrade back to since #347790 is still unfixed. :-( Here's the text output during the xterm upgrade: Unpacking replacement xterm ...
