Yes, launchpad is definitely the place for this sort of thing. The
package list function is still not completely up to date, maybe I should
file a bug on that too :)
Thanks,

I think I found it...
The /bin directory is, by default, symlinked to /usr/bin.
And this is causing the problem, since nano provides both a /bin/nano
(real executable) and an /usr/bin/nano (symbolic link to /bin/nano).
When the latter file is being created, the first one is overwritten =
things work poorly...
(Should this kind of bug be reported using launchpad.net
<http://launchpad.net>? I tried it the other day but the package list
was all empty so I don't know if it is still being used...)

Hello once again,
The nano package has a circular symlink (/bin/nano -> /bin/nano)
on my hardy-based Nexenta. I tried uninstalling the package and
reinstalling it, but the problem still remained.
To my guess, this is caused by the postinst/preinst script since
the dpkg-deb -c <package> output is reasonable:
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-06-16 14:18:09 ./
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-06-16 14:18:08 ./bin/
-rwxr-xr-x root/root 145564 2008-06-16 14:18:08 ./bin/nano
The nano package does some "update-alternatives" stuff in its
installation which is almost 100% certainly causing this.
