[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#659969: zsh4 shouldn't be in ksh alternatives

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.15-1
Severity: normal

zsh isn't a reliable ksh implementation, thus shouldn't be in ksh
alternatives. Even though /bin/zsh4 has a low priority, it is used
as ksh when no other ksh alternatives are installed. The admin
should be forced to install a real ksh if one is needed.
