openmotif4-2.3.4-4 fails to install with this error during the deb 
unpack phase:

Preparing to replace openmotif4 2.3.4-4 (using 
.../openmotif4_2.3.4-4_darwin-x86_64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement openmotif4 ...
Setting up openmotif4 (2.3.4-4) ...

update-alternatives: error: alternative path

dpkg: error processing openmotif4 (--install):
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
  openmotif4
### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1

The built deb file has

-rw-r--r-- root/admin     2452 2013-07-02 17:53 ./sw/share/man/man3/Object.3

but it was never 'versioned' during InstallScript.

However, I'm not sure why the file even needs to be under the control of 
update-alternatives. The only instances of man3/Object.3 that I could 
find in my 10.7 buildworld debs are in lesstif, openmotif3 and 
openmotif4, all of which already C/R with each other.  The use of u-a 
seems to date back to the 10.4-Transitional days. Is this still 
relevant, or does man3/Object.3 exist in another newer package?
