Package: xemacs21-bin
Version: 21.4.6-7
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.1.1
This package seems to expect /usr/man to exist, which it does not on a
fresh woody installation.
Setting up xemacs21-bin (21.4.6-7) ...
update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a
symlink to /etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing xemacs21-bin (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
With regards,

Well, this one is a non-bug as far as update-alternatives is concerned.
One package was probably not up-to-date wrt to the move to /usr/share/man
and it couldn't create the slave alternative in the old directory.
Hence closing this bug.
