Jaldar, I still get the following error on woody systems:
dpkg --configure pico
Setting up pico (4.44L-1) ...
update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink
to /etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz: No such
file or directory
dpkg: error processing pico (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
pico
I read recently the problem may be in update-alternatives, although
/usr/man/ clearly does not exist and yet it gets invoked in postinst:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/editor editor /usr/bin/pico 40 \
--slave /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz editor.1.gz /usr/man/man1/pico.1.gz
