Unit193So asked earlier in mentors and got no answer.  I presume there's no way to conditionally set a symlink that would conflict if the package is later installed but not expected to? (Worded better before) so in other words, postinst  if [ -f /usr/bin/foo ] || ln -s /usr/bin/bar /usr/bin/foo22:54
Unit193Hah, saw that on OFTC. :P22:55
paultagsounds like you're trying to reimplement update-alterantives22:55
paultagstop that22:55
Unit193Basically, yes.  But I wanted to!  It makes sense to symlink in this case if it doesn't exist! :P22:56
paultagupdate-alterantives will do that22:56
Unit193Also, good for another inxi upload?  And, last one, policy on a QA upload for a package that has a slightly stale ITA?22:56
Unit193Oh.22:56
Unit193(Symlink in this case if it doesn't exist, but have the other "alternative" overwrite the link with a real file.  But, yeah, going about it weirdly.)22:59
Unit193Bah, read manpage, doesn't do what I want it to. :P23:02
