Package: xterm Version: 208-2 Severity: normal This version of the xterm packages uses the alternatives system in some broken way. Before upgrading to this package, my x-terminal-emulator was set to xterm. After the upgrade it got reset to the highest priority alternative (gnome-terminal). I then manually --configed it back to xterm. Then I downgraded the package to version 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11, and once again the alternative got reset to gnome-terminal-emulator. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2 X Window System Session Management ii libxaw8 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxp6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2 X Window System printing extension ii libxpm4 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2 X pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs-data 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2 X Window System client data Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii xutils 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2 X Window System utility programs -- no debconf information -- see shy joAttachment: signature.asc
