Still have this bug in Ubuntu 13.04. Maybe it is wiser to manually add the file on installation than break the install?
Shouldn't the programs be foolproof and "accidentally lost file" proof? update-alternatives: error: alternative path /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus doesn't exist dpkg: error processing ibus (--configure): ** Changed in: ibus (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493878 Title: dpkg: error processing ibus (--configure): Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: ibus update-alternatives: error: alternative path /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus doesn't exist. dpkg: error processing ibus (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: ibus I got the above message in Apt when upgrading 10.04testing, (a 9.04>9.10>10.04 upgrade).
