Bug#807185: mksh fails to install on systems with usrmerge
Package: mksh, usrmerge
Severity: normal
Installing mksh on a system with usrmerge installed, that is,
/ merged into /usr fails:
update-alternatives: using /bin/mksh to provide /bin/ksh (ksh) in auto mode
update-alternatives: error: unable to install '/usr/bin/ksh.dpkg-tmp' as '/usr/bin/ksh': No such file or directory
Which is obvious, because /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin.
