Bug Description

The links package is declared to Provide www-browser. However, its
postinst is missing an update-alternatives call to add links as a
www-browser alternative.

This prevents it from being found by sensible-browser or by ‘apache2ctl
status’.

(The links2 package, which is built from the same source package as links,
is fine.)

summary: - links must be a part of www-browser virtual package. Or things that
- dependings on VP will not work (like apachectl status).
