Yes, it's true, excuse me.

This is the result without any locale set:

clementino:~# dpkg -i
/var/cache/apt/archives/elinks_0.9.1+0.9.2pre4-1_powerpc.deb
Selecting previously deselected package elinks.
(Reading database ... 79065 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking elinks (from .../elinks_0.9.1+0.9.2pre4-1_powerpc.deb) ...
Setting up elinks (0.9.1+0.9.2pre4-1) ...
mv: cannot stat `www-browser': No such file or directory
update-alternatives: unable to rename www-browser to /usr/bin/www-browser: Invalid cross-device linkdpkg: error processing elinks (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 elinks

Yes, it's true; this is my mount situation

clementino:~# mount
/dev/hda10 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hda12 on /opt type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda13 on /var type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda15 on /usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda14 on /home type ext3 (rw,loop=/dev/loop0,encryption=aes-256)
/dev/hda11 on /var/cache/apt/archives type ext3 (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)

Elinks2 works normally.
