Supposing /etc/alternatives is correct, I have a script to do that:
for i in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/*; do
j=$(basename $i)
STATE=0
while read a && [ -n "$a" ]; do
case $STATE in
0) STATE=1
;;
1) STATE=2
mkdir -p $(dirname "$a")
if [ -e $a -o -L $a ]; then rm -rf $a; fi
ln -s /etc/alternatives/${j} ${a}
;;
*) STATE=1
j="$a"
esac
done < $i
done
for i in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/*; do
j=$(basename $i)
STATE=0
while read a && [ -n "$a" ]; do
case $STATE in
0) STATE=1
;;
1) STATE=2
b=$(ls -lL "$a" 2>&1 >/dev/null|wc -l)
if [ "$b" -gt 0 ]; then
rm -f "$a"; rm -f "/etc/alternatives/${j}"
fi
;;
*) STATE=1
j="$a"
esac
done < $i
done
The second loop just removes dangling alternatives. I don't like them.
