Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.8.9
Severity: important
I have a dangling symlink in /etc/alternatives/lvm-default pointing to
/lib/lvm-200 (which doesn't exist).
# ls -l /etc/alternatives/lvm-default
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Mar 7 2008 /etc/alternatives/lvm-default ->
/lib/lvm-200
# cat /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/lvm-default
auto
/lib/lvm-default
/lib/lvm-200
1
I get a segmentation fault if I do this:
# update-alternatives --auto lvm-default
update-alternatives: warning: alternative /lib/lvm-200 (part of link group
lvm-default) doesn't exist. Removing from list of alternatives.
update-alternatives: warning: /etc/alternatives/lvm-default is dangling, it
will be updated with best choice.
Segmentation fault
