- Subject: how to update /etc/alternatives
The default for many files under /bin is linked to /etc/alternatives.
I wanted to update by default gcc and g++ to v4, so instead of
changing the .exe links in /bin, I wanted to have these changes made
in /etc/alternatives.
Instead of doing this one file at a time, I tried re-installing all
gcc/g++-4 packages, but all the gcc/g++ stuff under /etc/alternatives
still points to v3?
I just manually changed the gcc and g++ under /etc/alternatives to point
to v4, but shouldn't this have been done automatically when I reinstalled
all these packages?
