Version: 1.15.3
dpkg can't do anything more for this problem, the preinst does already
remove invalid master alternatives. If this case is not detected, it's
probably that the manual page symlink was not listed as slave of
x-terminal-emulator before the upgrade.
Manual cleanup is the only solution, short of finding the offending
package and letting him remove the wrong alternative.
Cheers,
