# `maintainer-script-sets-alternative-improperly`

The maintainer script calls `update-alternatives --set <alternative> foo` or `update-alternatives --config <alternative>` or `update-alternatives --set-selections`.

This makes it impossible to distinguish between an alternative that's manually set because the user set it and one that's manually set because the package set it.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `maintainer-script-should-not-use-update-alternatives-set`
