xcoral 1:3.40-2 deb pkg problem/bug
I installed xcoral yesterday evening and noticed the following error:
update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz: No such file or directory
It seems a file was forgotten. To be honest, if that were the only problem I might not have written you. However, the same problem seems to be interfering with dpkg and apt-get functionality as well.
according to dpkg -s xcoral:
Package: xcoral
Status: purge ok half-configured
But when I try to remove it:
rayuela:/home/zielot# dpkg -P --force-all xcoral
(Reading database ... 53323 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing xcoral ...
update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing xcoral (--purge):

update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz: No such file or directory
dpkg: error while cleaning up:

Errors were encountered while processing:
xcoral
And furthermore:
rayuela:/home/zielot# dpkg -P --force-all xemacs21-bin
(Reading database ... 53323 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing xemacs21-bin ...
update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing xemacs21-bin (--purge):

dpkg: error while cleaning up:

Errors were encountered while processing:
xemacs21-bin
How can I fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
