Package: epiphany-gecko Version: 2.20.2-1 Severity: normal The postinst has: update-alternatives --install \ /usr/bin/$alt $alt /usr/bin/epiphany-gecko 85 \ --slave /usr/share/man/man1/$alt.1.gz $alt.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/epiphany-gecko.1.gz
But in fact /usr/share/man/man1/epiphany-gecko.1.gz doesn't exist and /usr/share/man/man1/epiphany-browser.1.gz is a real file provided by epiphany-browser-data. This can leads to update-alternatives error message such as this one: $ LANG=C sudo update-alternatives --verbose --auto epiphany-browser Setting up automatic selection of epiphany-browser. Checking available versions of epiphany-browser, updating links in /etc/alternatives ... (You may modify the symlinks there yourself if desired - see `man ln'.) Updating epiphany-browser (/usr/bin/epiphany-browser) to point to /usr/bin/epiphany-gecko. warning: /usr/share/man/man1/epiphany-browser.1.gz is supposed to be a slave symlink to /etc/alternatives/epiphany-browser.1.gz, or nonexistent; however, readlink failed: Invalid argument Leaving epiphany-browser.1.gz (/usr/share/man/man1/epiphany-browser.1.gz) pointing to /usr/share/man/man1/epiphany-gecko.1.gz. And of course /etc/alternatives/epiphany-browser.1.gz is a broken symlink. I think you simply want to get rid of the slave symlink. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages epiphany-gecko depends on: ii dbus 1.1.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii epiphany-browser-data 2.20.2-1 Data files for the GNOME web brows ii gnome-icon-theme 2.20.0-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii iso-codes 1.7-1 ISO language, territory, currency, ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.19-3 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.20.2-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.20.0-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.12-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libenchant1c2a 1.3.0-5 a wrapper library for various spel ii libffi4 4.2.2-4 Foreign Function Interface library ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.2.2-4 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.20.1-2 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2 2.20.2-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.20.1-1 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.3-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libmozjs0d 1.8.1.11-1 The Mozilla SpiderMonkey JavaScrip ii libnspr4-0d 4.7.0~1.9b1-2 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.7-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-3 PNG library - runtime ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libstdc++6 4.2.2-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxml2 2.6.30.dfsg-3 GNOME XML library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxslt1.1 1.1.22-1 XSLT processing library - runtime ii libxul0d 1.8.1.11-1 Gecko engine library ii python2.4 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii xulrunner-gnome-support 1.8.1.11-1 Support for Gnome in xulrunner app ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-8 compression library - runtime Versions of packages epiphany-gecko recommends: ii epiphany-extensions 2.20.1-2 Extensions for Epiphany web browse ii yelp 2.20.0-1 Help browser for GNOME 2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
