Bug#582517: crystalcursors: Update-alternatives errors

[John Lindgren <john.lindgren@tds.net>]

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem.  Shouldn't this bug be severity
"grave", since it makes the package uninstallable?

        Preparing to replace crystalcursors 1.1.1-10 (using .../crystalcursors_1.1.1-11_all.deb) ...
        update-alternatives: removing manually selected alternative - switching x-cursor-theme to auto mode
        update-alternatives: using /etc/X11/cursors/crystalblue_classic.theme to provide /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme (x-cursor-theme) in auto mode.
        update-alternatives: using /etc/X11/cursors/crystalblue_nonanim.theme to provide /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme (x-cursor-theme) in auto mode.
        update-alternatives: using /etc/X11/cursors/crystalwhite_nonanim.theme to provide /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme (x-cursor-theme) in auto mode.
        Unpacking replacement crystalcursors ...
