This is caused by the prerm script which contains this not merged-usr
aware code:
if [ "$1" = remove ]; then
update-alternatives --remove mt /bin/mt-gnu
if test -L /sbin/rmt && test /sbin/rmt -ef /usr/sbin/rmt; then
rm -f /sbin/rmt
fi
fi
Cloning the bug to tar, since its prerm contains a similar construct.
(And I don't mean the update-alternatives call ...)
remove|deconfigure)
update-alternatives --remove rmt /usr/sbin/rmt-tar
if test -L /sbin/rmt && test /sbin/rmt -ef /usr/sbin/rmt; then
rm -f /sbin/rmt
fi
;;
Probable use
if ! test -L /sbin && test -L /sbin/rmt && ...
