Hi Bastian, > As the maintainer of CrystalCursors, I have a strongly related problem > with update-alternatives support in Xorg7. I'd like to know: will the > fix of this bug provide the /usr/share/icons/default - dir/symlink? The fixed xcursor-themes package will provide a /usr/share/icons/default directory. However, your package should also provide this directory as I stated in bug #363059, rather than depending on it to be present on the system: multiple packages are allowed to own directories, and it's only *by* declaring this ownership that dpkg is able to clean up those directories when a user removes both your package and xcursor-themes (e.g., because they're uninstalling X). > Is it save to assume that this directory *exists* on a Xorg7-Installation? No; you should ship the directory yourself. It *would* be possible to have a versioned dep on xcursor-themes instead, but that would be wrong when the only thing you need from that package is a directory. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
