alternatives are not handled

[Gianluca Della Vedova]

symlinks under /etc/alternatives are not created under a new intrepid install.

I would suggest to add somthing like the following in the postinst script.

ver=1.10
prio=26

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/automake automake \
        /usr/bin/automake-$ver $prio \
        --slave /usr/bin/aclocal aclocal /usr/bin/aclocal-$ver \
        --slave /usr/share/man/man1/automake.1.gz automake.1.gz \
        /usr/share/man/man1/automake-$ver.1.gz \
        --slave /usr/share/man/man1/aclocal.1.gz aclocal.1.gz \
        /usr/share/man/man1/aclocal-$ver.1.gz

Thanks for your work.

After further investigation, I have found that the problem is that update-alternatives is not set to --auto for a number of packages. I plan to analyze the problem and then (if necessary) to file a bug report against dpkg.

Thanks
