Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.5
Severity: normal

After the last upgrade action (I'm following testin), I got the 
following warning mail:

> /etc/cron.daily/man-db:
> mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/appletviewer.1.gz is a dangling
> symlink

So I investigated the problem. It seems that the gcj appletviewer 
version was uninstalled. No problem, one should think, as I still have 
the sun version installed. But:

> lunix:/home/schabi# update-alternatives --display appletviewer
> appletviewer - status is auto.
>  link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/appletviewer
> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/appletviewer - priority 63
>  slave appletviewer.1.gz: 
> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/man/man1/appletviewer.1.gz
> Current `best' version is /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/appletviewer.
> lunix:/home/schabi# update-alternatives --config appletviewer

> There is only 1 program which provides appletviewer
> (/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/appletviewer). Nothing to configure.

So update-alternatives points to a non-existing version (neither the gcj
appletviewer itsself, nor the manpage are present), knows the correct 
version, and - instead of fixing it, due to "auto" mode - does not even 
allow to manually correct it.

Any ideas?
