Package: ebtables Version: 2.0.10.4+snapshot20181205-2 Severity: serious Hello,
On system with usr-merge, removing ebtables breaks the alternative. The postinst script install symlinks from /sbin to /usr/sbin, in the prerm script these symlinks are removed. BUT ebtables also add itself as an alternative for ebtables implementations. That means that the symlinks installed by update-alternatives are rm when the package is removed. Not too sure how to fix this, maybe the prerm script should check if the symlinks directly point to a real file and only remove them in that case?
