I installed xcoral yesterday evening and noticed the following error: update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz: No such file or directory
It seems a file was forgotten. To be honest, if that were the only problem I might not have written you. However, the same problem seems to be interfering with dpkg and apt-get functionality as well. according to dpkg -s xcoral: Package: xcoral Status: purge ok half-configured But when I try to remove it: rayuela:/home/zielot# dpkg -P --force-all xcoral (Reading database ... 53323 files and directories currently installed.) Removing xcoral ... update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing xcoral (--purge): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz: No such file or directory dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: xcoral And furthermore: rayuela:/home/zielot# dpkg -P --force-all xemacs21-bin (Reading database ... 53323 files and directories currently installed.)

Any help would be appreciated.
