Ran into the issue again with updating to FF 3.6.6. Setting up firefox (3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) ... update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/firefox doesn't exist. dpkg: error processing firefox (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
The problem is from the previous symlinks: $ ls -al /usr/bin/firefox lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2010-04-27 12:09 /usr/bin/firefox -> /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.3/firefox.sh and $ ls -al firefox.ubuntu lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2010-06-29 20:35 firefox.ubuntu -> ../lib/firefox-3.6.6/firefox.sh So I rm'ed /usr/bin/firefox and $ sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu /usr/bin/firefox $ ls -al fire* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2010-06-29 20:35 firefox -> ../lib/firefox-3.6.6/firefox.sh Following that the upgrade to 3.6.6. worked.
