Bug#47253: dpkg: update-alternative can't rename across filesystem
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.1.13
Severity: normal
Hello,
While upgrading perl dpkg failed :
update-alternatives: unable to rename /usr/man/man1/perldoc.1p.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/perldoc.1p.gz: Invalid cross-device link
dpkg: error processing perl-5.005 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Removing /usr/man/man1/perldoc.1p.gz (and others) solve the problem.
My /usr /man and /usr/share are on sepaate filesystems...
Sincerly,
Jean harles
