The first error message occurred when I installed all pending packages

installed gnuplot packages. Now I get both the messages.
If you look in /var7Log/setup.log.full you should be able to see what
error messages, if any, were recorded.
The gnuplot related script should just set up the current alternative
for "gnuplot" to use, but something on your system seems to prevent
that from happening. You can also run the script in sh (you must tell
the shell to source it) and should get the same error (most likely).
When I do that in an elevated shell:
$ cd /etc/postinstall/
$ cat gnuplot-base.dash
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/gnuplot gnuplot
/usr/bin/gnuplot-base.exe 10
$ . gnuplot-base.dash
failed to read link /usr/bin/gnuplot: No such file or directory
failed to link /usr/bin/gnuplot -> /etc/alternatives/gnuplot: No such
file or directory
Something seems to be confusing 'alternatives'. Can you show a listing of
/etc/alternatives?
