update-alternatives: handle dangling alternative symlink
update-alternatives did not properly handle when the
alternative symlink in /etc/alternatives was dangling
and pointing to a choice that does not exist currently.
Fix by switching the alternative to automatic mode so
that it's replaced by the best choice.
