update-alternatives command in version 1.14.1

[Saurabh Kadekodi]

Hi All,

I'm working on upgrading the busybox version on my board. It currently
has version 1.1.0 and I'm upgrading it to 1.14.1. The problem I face
with it is that that there is no configuration parameter of
update-alternatives in 1.14.1 unlike 1.1.0. Therefore, when running
prerm or postinst scripts, it says:

update-alternatives: applets not found

Although my functionality is not hampered by it, I would like to know
as to whether it is removed, or it has been replaced by another
command?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Saurabh

hi Saurabh,
i have never seen that the org. busybox ships a update-alternatives.
It seems that this a a debian spcific command. It is intended to
replace a busybox (or otherwise) command with a second one.
Since you have no problems i would say ignore it, and be happy that
you have one difficulty less.
