Bug#270400: dpkg: alternative symlink not removed when mpg123-esd was removed -> dangling symlink

[Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.org>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.23
Severity: normal

I removed the mpg123-esd package a few days ago, and now, I have:

 /usr/share/man/man1/mp3-decoder.1.gz -> /etc/alternatives/mp3-decoder.1.gz

and

 /etc/alternatives/mp3-decoder.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/mpg123-esd.1.gz

but /usr/share/man/man1/mpg123-esd.1.gz no longer exists.
