[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#766015: zsh: /etc/alternatives/zsh and friends stay at zsh4 after dist-upgrade from Wheezy to Experimental

[Axel Beckert]

Package: zsh
Version: 5.0.7-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I just tested the workaround for http://bugs.debian.org/707760 in a
pbuilder chroot.

It works fine (/bin/zsh is no dangling symlink during the upgrade, the
warning is shown when expected and is not shown when not expected) with
one exception:

/bin/zsh continues to point to /bin/zsh4 (probably because that now
still exists) and that's definitely not what we want to happen.
