Package: xlibs-data
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software



-- System Information:
Debian Release: 3.1
  APT prefers testing
  APT policy: (500, 'testing')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-mobiark
Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1)

-- no debconf information

during an upgrade there comes the following error:
update-alternatives: internal error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-cursor-theme corrupt: missing newline after manflag

There are many other packages which depends on the correct installation of xlibs-data. As a result of that the GNOME desktop
does not work anymore.

Now I attach a list of the packages which could not install correctly:
xlibs-data
libx11-6
xlibs
libmagick6
libmagick++6
gnome-session
xterm
gnome-terminal
xbase-clients
gdm
gnome-themes-extras
gnome-panel
gnome-applets
gnome-applets-data
imagemagick
libsdl1.2debian-oss
libsdl1.2debian
libx11-dev
libxi-dev
libxt-dev
x-window-system-core
gnome-panel-data
libxv-dev
xlibs-static-dev

I agree with Joss's conclusion in the twin bug report; this looks like
some incarnation of corruption.  Additionally, it looks like this bug
was intended to be merged with the one which is closed, but Brandon
typed "ressign" not "reassign", so the merge command failed too.

This bug is hereby resigned and laid to rest.
