Some examples. 1) $ sh -efu -c '. scripts/find-package.in; FindPackage script /usr/share/libtool' /usr/share/libtool $ sh -efu -c '. scripts/find-package.in; FindPackage script /usr/share/libtool/' /usr/share/libtool $ This shows that alterntaives check is no longer restricted to deficient readlink "$rep" |grep '^/etc/alternatives/' logic. Old behaviour was: $ sh -efu -c '. /usr/lib/rpm/find-package; FindPackage script /usr/share/libtool' /usr/share/libtool $ sh -efu -c '. /usr/lib/rpm/find-package; FindPackage script /usr/share/libtool/' sh: script: checking contents_index_all for /usr/share/libtool-1.5 sh: script: /usr/share/libtool-1.5 -> libtool_1.5 (via contents_index_all) libtool_1.5 $ 2) $ sh -efu -c '. scripts/find-package.in; FindPackage script /usr/share/libtool/../autoconf' /usr/share/autoconf /usr/share/libtool $ This shows that any number of alternatives can be resolved within a single path. 3) $ sh -efu -c '. scripts/find-package.in; FindPackage script /usr/share/libtool/config.guess' /usr/share/libtool sh: script: alternative /usr/share/libtool prevents /usr/share/libtool/config.guess resolution $ This shows that we cannot resolve paths under alternatives directory. 4) $ sh -efu -c '. scripts/find-package.in; FindPackage script /usr/share/libtool/../../bin/perl' /usr/share/libtool perl-base $ This shows that we actually CAN resolve paths which are not under alternatives directory.
