Hey, I've been playing with update-alternatives to figure out this problem and problems related to it. I've tried debugging update-alternatives and it seems to behave properly on situations which used cause this:
alface:~# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/mytest mytest /bin/ls 20 alface:~# /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --verbose --remove mytest /bin/ls Checking available versions of mytest, updating links in /etc/alternatives ... (You may modify the symlinks there yourself if desired - see `man ln'.) Last package providing mytest (/usr/bin/mytest) removed, deleting it. As seen above, update-alternative correctly removes the alternative if the last package providing it is removed; Should this and related bugs be closed? I found several changelog entries which might be related to a fix for this problem, but none directly mentioning it, though.
