Maybe the below failure is update-alternatives' fault, if so please reassign this bug. # dpkg --status gcc Package: gcc Status: install ok half-configured # dpkg --configure gcc Setting up gcc (2.95-2) ... Checking available versions of cc, updating links in /etc/alternatives ... (You may modify the symlinks there yourself if desired - see `man ln'.) Renaming cc.1.gz slave link from /usr/man/man1/cc.1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/cc.1.gz. update-alternatives: unable to rename /usr/man/man1/cc.1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/cc.1.gz: Invalid cross-device link dpkg: error processing gcc (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: gcc This is easily worked around with an # rm /usr/man/man1/cc.1.gz which causes update-alternatives to create a new link in /usr/share/man/man1/ rather than trying to move the old one. Perhaps moving a symbolic link rather than generating a new one is an unnecessary optimization, under the circumstances.
