You broke it.  You get to keep both pieces.

/var/lib/dpkg/info/mc.postinst is failing.  You could comment out the 
failing line to get the install to "succeed".

Looks like you might be able to fix the error by doing:
mkdir -p /usr/share/man/it.ISO8859-1/man1 /etc/alternatives
as root.

You were running dpkg as root, correct?
