Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.8
Severity: important
Hi,
with current dpkg I have a strage problem - during install of some
packages i.e. fakeroot or heirloom-mailx, update-alternatives
starts to write very large files in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives,
only stopping after the disk is filled up. Downgrading to 1.15.7.2
solves that issue.
