I just did this after lxsession.postinst failed with the same error. However, /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager now points to lxsession, and not to my old alternative (icewm-session) anymore. Output from lxsession.postinst: Setting up lxsession (0.3.8+svn20090521-1) ... update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/lxsession to provide /usr/bin/x-session-manager (x-session-manager) in auto mode. My alternatives: $ ls -la /etc/alternatives/x-session-* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 15 18:21 /e/a/x-session-manager -> /usr/bin/lxsession lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Jun 15 18:21 /e/a/x-session-manager.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/lxsession.1.gz Changing an alternative without the sysadmin saying so should be avoided if possible, imho. Can this problem be worked around in any way, or is this something that we'll have to live with because of mistakes made in the past?
