Nevermind. I found that the problem was simply that when I replaced rm
with a shell script that executes rm $* -I to require confimation, this
caused dpkg to fail when removing files. I'm not sure why this problem
only affected xulrunner and no other packages I installed and removed,
but I guess
When attempting to do the security updates yesterday (Jan 8, 2010), I am
now experiencing this error. I tried purging xulrunner-1.9.1, then

My /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/xulrunner was empty.
So I did sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/xulrunner
then reinstalled xulrunner-1.9.1 (like: sudo apt-get install
xulrunner-1.9.1 )
then ... purged xulrunner-1.9.1 ( sudo apt-get purge xulrunner-1.9.1 )
Now everything is fine

Same problem for me
Making an apt-get upgrade today, firefox refuse to install...
Same problem in file /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/xulrunner
That file is empty, and seems to cause problem to dpkg.
Any clue?
Thank for support
