Package: dpkg
Version: 1.21.1
Severity: important
I notice that /usr/bin/mlterm is missing from the alternatives
for x-terminal-emulator:
cventin:~> update-alternatives --display x-terminal-emulator
x-terminal-emulator - manual mode
link best version is /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
link currently points to /usr/bin/xterm
link x-terminal-emulator is /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz is /usr/share/man/man1/x-terminal-emulator.1.gz
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper - priority 40
slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/gnome-terminal.1.gz

/usr/bin/lxterm - priority 30
slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/lxterm.1.gz
/usr/bin/urxvt - priority 20
slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/urxvt.1.gz

/usr/bin/xterm - priority 20
slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/xterm.1.gz
This was also the case for the xterm related programs until
I reinstalled xterm with dpkg -i.
Concerning mlterm and x-terminal-emulator, I can see in
the /var/log/alternatives.log* log files from the latest
mlterm upgrade until I noticed the issue:

I wonder whether some upgrade of gnome-terminal or rxvt trashed the
alternatives.
