But apparently there must be an old version of update-alternatives that created improper entries for slave alternatives in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives so I do a full scan once when we upgrade from a version older than 1.15.3 and hope that we can forget about those upgrade issues after that. diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index 1bc039f..0f4a079 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -9,8 +9,8 @@ dpkg (1.15.3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low [ Raphael Hertzog ] * Unset TAR_OPTIONS when creating/extracting tar archives for source packages.
