Package: pseudo
Version: 1.7.5-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

thank for your work on pseudo.

This bug is presumably related to #805937, but I'm reporting it alone as
it prevents a smooth installation of the package.

During upgrade:

  Setting up pseudo (1.7.5-4) ...
  update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/fakeroot-pseudo
  doesn't exist
  dpkg: error processing package pseudo (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
  status 2

This is because of the update-alternatives invocation in postinst:

  configure)
      # continue below
      update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/fakeroot fakeroot \
                  /usr/bin/fakeroot-pseudo 5 \
                  --slave /usr/share/man/man1/fakeroot.1.gz \
                  fakeroot.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/fakeroot-pseudo.1.gz
  ;;

The pseudo package does not contain the fakeroot-pseudo wrapper (as a
fix for #805937 ?):

  $ fgrep bin /var/lib/dpkg/info/pseudo.list 
  /usr/bin
  /usr/bin/pseudolog
  /usr/bin/pseudodb
  /usr/bin/pseudo 

Thanks,
Gian Piero.
