This is likely caused by the lack of sync of the administrative file
when it's updated by update-alternatives. With ext4 it is some possible
under some conditions that the file was moved in place before that its
content has been written...
I have pushed a fix for this in upstream's git repository:
0e0e26cb8e9e3b8e3a60c329d8ea0c6e5445742c
It will be fixed in Ubuntu the next time we sync dpkg >= 1.16.1.
** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Fix Committed
