But none of them does actually, since it's only a symlink that points into the alternatives config space. And it's only one of the packages that owns what the symlink may point to. The alternatives symlink is a configuration value and doesn't belong into any package. The admin could also point the symlink to something in /usr/local, and you don't want to remove his customisation when an rpm is uninstalled. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
