Problem solved for me: update-alternatives is a perl script it was not the right update-alternatives that was used,
`which update-alternatives` returned /usr/local/bin/update-alternatives instead of /usr/sbin/update-alternatives so to solve this, run the command export PATH = "/usr/sbin":$PATH thanks to Nico (a school friend) -- package gcc-doc 4:4.2.3-1ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231325 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
