Still trying to update to sarge.

[Spencer <infotechsys@pivot.net>]

Hi again,
I can't seem to get around, if that's the right way of putting it,
the error I'm still getting while trying to update to sarge.
After several hours I always end with this error --

Preparing to replace nano1.0.6-3 (using .. /archives//nano_1.2.4-2_i386.deb) 
..
update alternative/editor.1: unable to make /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.
dpkg-tmp a smylink to /etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/nano_1.2.4-2.i386.deb(--unpack): subprocess
pre - installation script return error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing: 
/var/cache/apt/archives/nano_1.2.4-2.i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).

Well, thats the error I get. I have tried to google this, but I get
no hits and I tried to check the debian archives, still no hit.
I don't know if timing out several times on my attempts to update
to sarge is a problem or not. But, when I did time out I would
just restart the update with - "apt-get -u dist-upgrade".
Can someone help me with this problem?
TIA.
Wayne

P.S.   I'm not sure if I'm reading the error right, but why is
         nano replacing editor and whats the symbolic link for?
