Bug#307762: gcc-4.0-hppa64: postinst didn't find 'shell' cmd

[Joel Soete]

Package: gcc-4.0-hppa64
Version: 4.0.0-2
Severity: normal
Hi all,
This experimental gcc-4.0-hppa64 dpkg failled in postinst because:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gcc-4.0-hppa64.postinst: line 3: shell: command not found
update-alternatives: --install needs <link> <name> <path> <priority>
Debian update-alternatives 1.10.27.

Usage: update-alternatives --install <link> <name> <path> <priority>
                          [--slave <link> <name> <path>] ...
       update-alternatives --remove <name> <path>
       update-alternatives --remove-all <name>
       update-alternatives --auto <name>
       update-alternatives --display <name>
       update-alternatives --list <name>
       update-alternatives --config <name>
       update-alternatives --set <name> <path>
       update-alternatives --all
<name> is the name in /etc/alternatives.
<path> is the name referred to.
<link> is the link pointing to /etc/alternatives/<name>.
<priority> is an integer; options with higher numbers are chosen.
Options:  --verbose|--quiet  --test  --help  --version
          --altdir <directory>  --admindir <directory>
I have a quick look in other dpkg installed on my system but don't find any other 'shell' usage anywhere to select this 
update-alternatives priority.
And unfortunately I don't have enough clue in deb packaging to help more to find a possible fix, sorry :-(

Thanks in advance,
        Joel
