Tag: maintainer-script-sets-alternative-improperly
Severity: warning
Check: scripts
Renamed-From: maintainer-script-should-not-use-update-alternatives-set
Explanation: The maintainer script calls update-alternatives --set
<alternative> foo
or update-alternatives --config
<alternative>
or update-alternatives --set-selections
.
.
This makes it impossible to distinguish between an alternative that's
manually set because the user set it and one that's manually set because
the package set it.
